Police say alleged victims have identified 84 people as responsible for attacks between 1963 and 1992
More than 140 people have told police they were the victims of abuse at 18 children's homes across north Wales over a span of three decades.
The complainants, almost all men who were aged between seven and 19 at the time of the alleged offences, have identified 84 people as responsible for attacks said to have taken place between 1963 and 1992.
Sixteen of the 84 alleged perpetrators have been named more than once, according to North Wales police, and six are believed still to be alive. One suspect has been arrested to date.
The scale of the alleged abuse was revealed on Monday in a National Crime Agency report on the progress of Operation Pallial, the criminal investigation ordered into north Wales care homes by David Cameron at the height of the sex abuse scandal last November.
