Gwent police has said the inquiry is focused on allegations made by eight women of sexual abuse committed against them as children over a period of 11 years.
Some of the charges of rape relate to multiple incidents of rape, the force said.
Det Ch Supt Andrew Tuck previously said: “It is vital for the victims in this case, and for the integrity of the investigation, that nothing is posted on social media that could affect the court proceedings.”
“Anyone who reports child abuse will be taken seriously. We urge anyone who has experienced abuse, or who is concerned that someone may be suffering, to come forward.
“We will listen, investigate all offences and make sure you can access the help and support you need.”
