Student gets 24-year jail for rapes in UK and China

A Chinese post-graduate student convicted of drugging and raping IO women in the UK and China and suspected of having attacked more was on Thursday jailed for life by a London court.

And London police say they have evidence to suggest he could have targeted more than 50 other women.

Serial rapist Zhenhao Zou, 28 - described in court as “calculated and predatory” - targeted young Chinese women who he invited to his London flat for drinks or to study before drugging and attacking them.

Zou filmed nine of the rapes with hidden or handheld cameras but only two of the IO victims have ever been identified.

Sentencing him at Inner London Crown Court, Judge Rosina Cottage said there was “no doubt that you planned and executed a campaign of rape” that had caused “devastating and long term effects.”
