Zou boasted of his sexual prowess and appeared on a dating show in China
''Chemical castration of paedophiles and other sex offenders is currently being piloted in south-west England, and includes taking two drugs, one to limit sexual thoughts and the other to reduce testosterone and limit libido.

Chemical castration is voluntary in Germany, France, Sweden and Denmark, and some sex offenders actively seek it out. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood recently announced the existing pilot would be expanded to 20 prisons. ''

Woman says student predator Zhenhao Zou raped her hours before second attack

Police first thought there had only been one rape, because the women's stories were so similar.

''Two women who reported being drugged and raped by prolific sex offender Zhenhao Zou said they were attacked within 24 hours of each other, the BBC has established.

The first woman who says she was raped told us she was shocked to learn about the second attack and had since felt guilt for not reporting her rape sooner.''

''We do not know exactly what else was in the cocktail that Rachel drank, but when UK police raided Zou's London apartment they found a substance which converts into the date-rape drug GHB in the body.

The substance is a controlled drug the UK, but can be easily bought without a prescription in China to treat insomnia, where it costs as little as $3 (£2.22) per 500ml, the BBC has found.''

Zou had also repeatedly searched online for information around a sleeping drug that is banned in the UK but available on prescription in China, according to evidence shown at his trial.

A screenshot of WeChat messages circulating among Zou's former classmates, seen by the BBC, shows Zou had begun researching prescription sleeping pills in China in January 2020, asking a friend there if he knew anyone who had been prescribed them from whom he could "buy from directly".
