Zou Zhenhao, a Chinese student, has been sentenced to life in prison following his conviction for drugging and raping multiple women. His crimes spanned both the United Kingdom and China, leading to a complex investigation. The court heard details of his manipulative tactics, including using his charm to conceal his predatory nature. The judge highlighted the significant risk Zou posed and his desire to dominate women. Victims have reported enduring severe psychological distress and trauma as a consequence of the attacks. Police investigations unearthed extensive video evidence and are currently working to identify additional victims. Zou, initially a student at Queen’s University Belfast and later University College London, used social media platforms under the alias ‘Pakho’ to find his victims. His actions have prompted serious concerns about the vulnerability of women and the prevalence of sexual violence.
