A Chinese student, Zhenhao Zou, 28, who drugged and raped 10 women in the UK and China, was sentenced to life imprisonment on Thursday, with a minimum term of 22 years.

While delivering the verdict, UK Judge Rosina Cottage described Zou as someone who appeared “well-to-do, ambitious, and charming” to the outside world, but was in reality a “sexual predator” hiding behind a façade.
