Rapist serving life may face more assault charges
Detectives linked Zhenhao Zou to more alleged sexual offences after 23 women contacted police, and prosecutors are reviewing evidence of rape and drugging.
- The Metropolitan Police has submitted a file to the Crown Prosecution Service containing new sexual crime allegations involving seven additional women against convicted rapist Zhenhao Zou.
- Zhenhao Zou, described by police as "one of the most prolific predators," is currently serving a life sentence with a 24-year minimum term after being convicted last year of 28 offences, including 11 counts of rape against 10 women.
- Following a public appeal, 23 women contacted police, though most did not wish to pursue criminal charges; detectives continue separate inquiries into allegations involving women reportedly assaulted in China.
- Detective Chief Superintendent Angela Craggs thanked the victims who came forward, stating, "We recognise how difficult it can be to report offences of this nature and every woman who has contacted us has shown considerable courage."
- Investigations remain active as police encourage anyone with further information to contact the force by calling 101, referencing CAD1258/04SEP26 to assist with the ongoing case.
