Zhenhao Zou, a 28-year-old PhD student, has been convicted of 11 rapes of 10 women across London and China from 2019 to 2024. Using charm to entice victims, he drugged them and filmed the assaults, which provided critical evidence for his conviction. Despite denying the allegations, his claims about being aroused by extreme pornography were highlighted in court. Prosecutor Catherine Farrelly painted Zou as a dangerous predator who hides behind a respectable facade, noting the contrasting testimonies from victims who suffered horrific ordeals during their incapacitation. He faces a lengthy prison sentence.
Zou appeared respectable, a gentleman, but the reality was different. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing and every woman's nightmare—he was a serial rapist, a predator.
He told the jury he was aroused by extreme pornography, particularly by videos of sex with unconscious women, and by rape roleplay.
I really don't want to, I beg you, don't do this, to which Zou replied: Don't push me, it's pointless. The sound insulation here is very good.
His tactics involved enticing women home under false pretenses of drinks, only to drug and film them while they were incapacitated.
