Lake Macquarie Local Area Command has stepped up their investigations into sexual assault in the Hunter region.
Police have launched Strike Force Geelan to investigate the sexual and indecent assault of women.
It comes after a Gateshead photographer was arrested and charged for allegedly sexually assaulting women who modelled for him in his studio between 2012 and June this year.
Police say they seized 300,000 images from the 54-year-old of which the majority were of an explicit nature. He is now before the courts.
Officers would like to speak with anyone who believes they may be able to assist with the investigation.
