At his sentencing hearing on Thursday, statements from three of his victims were read aloud, describing how they had been left suffering long-term psychological damage. One woman said she was “consumed by terror, confusion, anger and shame” after she regained consciousness following an attack. Originally from Dongguan, in the Guangdong Province of southeastern China, Mr. Zou was studying mechanical engineering at University College London at the time of the rapes. He targeted women he met through the student community, as well as by using social media and dating websites. The police said that all his victims are believed to be Chinese.
