[Zou was studying for a Ph.D. in
mechanical engineering at
University College London in 2023
when the first woman came forward
to allege that he had raped her.
As part of the investigation, police seized
Zou´s phone, on which they found videos
of him raping unconscious women.
A search of his apartment in
south London turned up sedatives
and recording equipment.
The investigation into Zou´s crimes
continues, and at least 24 women
have come forward with
new allegations as a result of the
publicity surrounding his trial,
London´s Metropolitan Police Service said.
Taken together, the cases would make
him one of the worst sex offenders
in U.K. history.
Zou, who also used the name
Pakho online, befriended fellow students
of Chinese heritage on dating apps
and WeChat, before inviting them
for drinks and drugging them
at his apartments in London
or an unknown location in China.
Using hidden or handheld cameras,
Zou filmed nine of the attacks
as "souvenirs," and he kept
a "trophy box" of his victims'
belongings, according to evidence
presented at trial.]
