A man already serving a life sentence is being considered for additional criminal charges after the Metropolitan Police (Met) submits evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). The Met passed a file to the CPS to consider whether further charges should be brought.
The case concerns Zhenhao Zou, 29, who is in custody following convictions linked to rape offences. Reported charges involve drugging and raping multiple women, with allegations described as spanning both London and China. One outlet states he is convicted and serving a life sentence already, indicating the new action would be a separate review rather than an initial prosecution.
Across the sources, the key elements are that Zou is in jail and serving a life sentence following rape convictions, and that the Met has now provided an evidence file to the CPS. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis and phrasing, but do not specify in the provided text what the potential new charges would be or whether the CPS will pursue them.
