A PhD student, Zou, has been sentenced to life in prison for raping multiple women in England and China. The court revealed disturbing details—he filmed nine of the assaults as "souvenirs" using hidden cameras and even kept a "trophy box" filled with his victims' belongings. The evidence painted a chilling picture of premeditated violence.

Editor’s Note: This case is horrifying not just for the brutality of the crimes, but for how calculated they were. The fact that Zou documented his attacks and collected mementos suggests a deeply predatory mindset. It’s a stark reminder of how sexual violence can be systematic and how crucial accountability is—no matter the perpetrator’s background or education. The international scope of his crimes also highlights challenges in cross-border legal cooperation.
