**New Allegations Surface Against Convicted Rapist Zou Zhenhao as 23 More Women Step Forward**
New reports add to the troubling case of a Chinese student convicted of multiple rapes in the UK and China.
More than 20 women have recently contacted the Metropolitan Police with allegations against Zou Zhenhao, a 28-year-old Chinese student who was convicted last month of sexually assaulting 10 women across Britain and China. Following his conviction, authorities revealed that 23 additional women have approached them with new allegations, expanding the scope of the case significantly. Some of these individuals reside in Britain, while others are located in China and various international locations.
Zou, who was pursuing a PhD at University College London from 2019 to 2024, reportedly used dating apps such as Bumble and social media platforms, including WeChat and Little Red Book, to lure victims. The police indicated that he specifically targeted Chinese students living in London, often meeting them at parties and social events.
In a trial that captured significant media attention, a jury found Zou guilty on March 5 of 11 counts of rape, along with other offenses related to drug possession for sexual assault, voyeurism, and possession of extreme pornography. During the proceedings, Court testimonies included those from two women, while eight others remain unidentified. Most alarmingly, police are concerned that many victims may not fully recognize the extent of their experiences due to being drugged at the time of the assaults.
With Zou's conviction now ensuring that he faces justice, police have publicly urged anyone who may have been victimized to come forward, emphasizing their commitment to uncovering the full scale of his crimes and supporting the survivors. The case continues to evolve as investigators seek to piece together Zou's troubling history of abuse.
