In March 2025, Zou was found guilty of 11 counts of rape, false imprisonment, voyeurism, and drug possession for sexual purposes.

The Metropolitan Police believe Zou may be one of the UK's most prolific sex offenders, prompting an international appeal for victims following his conviction at the Inner London Crown Court.

He used hidden cameras to record his assaults, keeping footage and victims' belongings as souvenirs, showcasing his manipulative behavior.

Zou's modus operandi involved inviting women to his flat under the pretense of socializing, drugging them, and then assaulting them.

The Metropolitan Police has set up a contact point for anyone who believes they may have been targeted by Zou, encouraging survivors to reach out for help.

Zou is scheduled to be sentenced later in 2025 following his convictions.

Since the appeal in March 2025, 23 women have reported incidents to the Metropolitan Police, highlighting the ongoing impact of Zou's actions.

Detectives estimate that more than 50 women worldwide may have been targeted by Zou, who has lived in various locations including London and Belfast.

The investigation is intensifying, with additional resources allocated to identify victims and ensure they can provide evidence without further trauma.

Zhenhao Zou, a 28-year-old serial rapist, was convicted of raping 10 women across the UK and China, with police fearing he may have over 50 additional victims.

Metropolitan Police Commander Kevin Southworth emphasized the importance of all potential victims coming forward, as Zou's crimes could have occurred globally.

Zou, originally from Dongguan, China, used WeChat and dating apps to lure victims, specifically targeting young Chinese women.
