The six men, from Iraq, Syria and Bahrain have been bailed over the incident which is claimed to have occurred on 4 September.
The 26-year-old woman claims to have woken up in a strange house and suffering from cuts and bruises after her drink had been spiked during a night out and believes she was abducted and sexually assaulted.
The incident sparked violent protests a week later in the city and the windows of the terrace house the woman claimed she was attacked in were smashed.
During the protest two Asian men were injured and five men were arrested for various offences, including affray.
Sunderland Central MP Julie Elliott last night called for calm.
Southern Area Command chief inspector Paul Milner said: “We know the woman had been in Sunderland City Centre on Saturday night before waking up in a strange address in Peel Street with cuts and bruises.
“She managed to leave the house and get to a family member’s home at around 5am on Sunday morning.
