List of serial rapists

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

A serial rapist is someone who commits multiple rapes, whether with multiple victims or a single victim repeatedly over a period of time. This list does not include serial killers who raped their victims then killed them; only serial rapists who non-fatally attacked their victims and raped them should be included here. This list should include serial rapists with at least three victims. Serial killers that raped at least three victims without murdering them are also included.

Robert Anderson	United States	1966-2003	General and sports physician of the University of Michigan, died in 2008. Reports released in 2021 revealed Anderson sexually abused university students and athletes, as well as additional boys and young men, ranging in the hundreds and possibly surpassing to over a thousand. Many accusers are black Americans, and all told accounts of fingering without consent under the guises of rectal and other exams. Sexual assaults dating back decades before Anderson's death were never followed up on, and numerous curricular and athletic staff, especially football coach Bo Schembechler, would degrade the men and even laugh at them and say they would "toughen up" due to the sexual assaults. Schembechler physically assaulted his preteen son Matthew when he reported being sexually assaulted. Victims of both the sexual abuse at Michigan and in the Ohio State University sexual abuse scandal organized protests and demanded reparation, the response being millions of dollars in settlements with the men and other plaintiffs.
Mustapha Tabet	Morocco	1986–1992	Corrupt police commissioner who kidnapped and raped young girls and women at his apartment in Casablanca, always recording his assaults on tape. His case was infamous for the fact that he used his power and influence to destroy evidence of his wrongdoings.

The USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal revealed 368 athletes who were sexually assaulted without intervention or protection, and a lackluster FBI response that refused to prevent future sexual abuse and guarantee safety for the athletes. Nassar's collective sentences amounted to life in prison, and Randall Margraves, the father of three gymnasts who were sexually assaulted by Nassar, committed courtroom assault on Nassar in a rage. Compensation lawsuits were filed, public rallies and concerts were held in support of the athletes, and four gymnasts who were abused by Nassar testified in front of the United States Congress to the sexual assaults, the dangerous rape culture in the professional environments, and the refusal of federal action.

Cyril Smith	United Kingdom	1960s-1980s	Deceased Member of Parliament in the Liberal Party accused for years, posthumously and alive, of sexual and physical battery of boys. 1979 press articles barely attracted attention at the time, with an unsubstantial investigation having no repercussions and Smith giving no statements. Numerous investigation followed with similar negligence. An arrest in the 1980s resulted in burial and destruction of all evidence and records instead of prosecution and penalties, as well as similar reactions to two other arrests. Starting in 2012, numerous men went public and waived their anonymity to accuse Smith of physical violence and sexual assault. Officials in government and the public were at this point widely and openly outraged and devastated, especially when details revealed showed a cover-up where dossiers were intentionally removed from access of investigative officials. Smith primarily targeted children at hostels, residential schools, guest houses, care homes, and political clubs, reports tying Smith to rings of systemic sex offenders ousted in investigations and ordered releases of documents. Politicians even came forward having known about the offenses, saying Smith never denied them to their faces. Books and documentaries covered Smith's trail of felonies, induced trauma, and felony conspiracies.

LAPD Detective John Metcalf, who was assigned to track Minsky when he started on the job, put in all his efforts even down to appealing to the public to track Minsky down. When Minsky was arrested, his motive for the crimes was reportedly refusing to put in paying work for a living as a parolee.

After being released from prison, Vahey traveled abroad and sexually abused more boys who were students at the schools, feeding them Oreo cookies with sleeping medicine in them and making child pornography while molesting the boys. Vahey didn't sign the registry, which is how the schools never found out records. Vahey allegedly molested boys for all his life, having been previously molested as a child, by his own account.

Milner often used the ruse of "narcoanalysis", as all victims were drugged with sodium amytal during the rapes and tortures. Affects against the patients in their later lives included self-harm, substance abuse, and even false memory syndrome, the last one being an affect of Milner's lies of the violent crimes being in the interest of "repressed memory therapy".

The Derbyshire's Public Protection Major Investigation Team formally took over the investigation, and MP Amanda Solloway, who represented the jurisdiction, brought the news reports to the British parliament, where then-prime minister David Cameron swore to have the reports be fully and thoroughly foloowed through with. The findings were publicized across British news circuits, and several people who were "experimented on" at the hospital reported the crimes and their long-standing trauma to the various news agencies covering the crimes. The Health Secretary at the time, Matt Hancock, issued a formal apology letter to 80 victims of Milner's violence and explopitation and a promise for a compelte investigation to indeitfy and penalize all guilty parties, taking primary responsibility for the remainder of the compensation lawsuits filed by all the former patients.

Originally a serial rapist of numerous women and girls, with propensities of sexual sadism and an obsession with targeting women and girls who still retained their virginity. As "The Scarborough Rapist", Bernardo stalked women and girls on the streets and anally raped them at knifepoint and was even interviewed due to fitting a composite sketch, volunteering a DNA sample that wouldn't be tested for two years. Bernardo married Karla Homolka, battering and degrading her throughout the marriage. Escalating further, Bernardo committed "The Schoolgirl Murders" by kidnapping, raping, torturing, and murdering teenage girls with Karla as an accomplice. The crimes were recorded on camera, and Karla was ordered by Bernardo to steal drugs to incapacitate the girls, as well as carry out tortures and rapes on four of the girls held captive, three who were murdered, including Karla's little sister Tammy Homolka. Tammy died from an overdose of the substance in her systems and wasn't resuscitated in time. Bernardo strangled two other girls to death, hid each of them in the Homolka family basement while they were dead and the family had dinner, then left them in fields dismembered and buried in cement. Another girl was raped twice by the duo and released, with little to no recollection until after the second rape. Homolka reported Bernardo and filed charges for a severe beating.

Todd Hodne	United States	1978-1979	12	Penn State University linebacker in local college football arrested and convicted on charges regarding a spree of raping and attempting to rape twelve women in the city. Women gave accounts of being tied, often with their own clothes, violently raped at knifepoint, often robbed of their money, and even witnesses were attacked. Evidence showed Hodne stalked each woman beforehand, calling them based on personal ads, and breaking into their homes to hide before attacking when the assaults happened within their residences. Hodne also had records of other crimes and showed other signs of violence, including throwing a knife in the direction of a teammate and robbery. Part of Hodne's rape spree was while not being remanded after one conviction on a charge of rape. Hodne pleaded guilty to additional charges and served approximately six years, with the parole board unanimously voting to release Hodne despite a letter from the prosecutor vehemently fighting the verdict with graphic details of Hodne's rapes. Hodne tried to rob a cab driver, Jeffrey Hirsch, and broke Hirsch's neck when Hirsch fought back. Hodne fled and was caught by a K-9 unit, then was charged, tried, and convicted of Hirsch's murder after his life support was turned off. Hodne admitted the murder wasn't self-defense at his only parole hearing. Hodne died of cancer in 2020. ESPN published an investigative report in 2022 to spread awareness of Hodne's crimes, in retaliation over the revelation of football coach Jerry Sandusky sexually abusing boys and men in the community, which were ignored and covered up by staff and university officials, most notably fellow coach Joe Paterno. Paterno also stymied investigations into Hodne, and both Hodne and Sandusky shared attendance periods at the university. A short documentary, Betsy & Irv, was released to detail the friendship of Betsy Sailor, a woman who was raped by Hodne while she was a young woman, and Irv Pankey, one of Hodne's teammates who came to support Betsy throughout her testimony against Hodne and collaborated with her to fight for justice.

With Dutroux finances, properties, child pornography which was allegedly made to be internationally disseminated, Dutroux's early release against confirmed professional testimony of Dutroux's culpability and imposed dangers, and the fiascos in arresting Dutroux and saving the girls, including the girls who starved to death after police were in the house they were captive in, Belgian citizens were outraged, and there were allegations and investigations over infiltration of criminal conspiracies and syndicates corrupting the governing, legal, and judicial systems and exploiting Belgium in the interest of organized crime with elite and systemic ties.
