Police have received “numerous” calls to a dedicated hotline in the week since Reynhard Sinaga was unmasked as Britain’s worst rapist.
Of those, an undisclosed number of calls have been taken from potential victims of the serial rapist.
A special incident room and phone line was set up last Monday (January 6) at the same time as a court order banning reporting of the case was lifted.
The phone line will remain open until 9pm tonight (January 14) and before the incident room is “scaled back”.
After this, anyone who thinks they may have been affected by Sinaga’s crimes can pass information to police via the online Major Incident Public Portal here or by calling 101.
The MIPP will also provide contact details for support agencies to anyone who accesses it.
Anyone who wishes to seek support but does not want to talk to police can contact St Mary’s Sexual Assault Referral Centre on 0161 276 6515.
Survivors Manchester - a charity that works with male victims of rape and sexual assault - can also be contacted on 0161 236 2182.
The National Male Survivors Helpline can be contacted on 0808 800 5005.
Manchester student Sinaga, 36, was jailed for life last week and must serve a minimum of 30 years behind bars before the Parole Board can even consider if he is safe to be released.
The Indonesian national, who has lived in Manchester since 2007, drugged and raped 44 men and sexually assaulted a further four during a campaign of rape that lasted more than two years.
But detectives believe the true number of victims is actually 195, based on the hundreds of hours of video footage Sinaga filmed during the attacks.
Sinaga lured drunk men back to his apartment in Manchester city centre before lacing their drinks with GHB and raping them while they were unconscious.
