Zhenhao Zou, a Chinese national studying in the UK, faces multiple charges including 11 counts of rape. During a court appearance, evidence revealed that the complainant, who met Zou at a friend's party, later accused him of raping her after a night of drinking. The woman, who recalls little after vomiting, stated that Zou claimed he thought she was conscious and able to consent. She plans to testify via video link from China, emphasizing her lack of consent due to her intoxicated state.
The woman attributed her lack of consciousness during the incident to being excessively drunk, indicating that any consent was voided by her intoxication.
Mr Zou claimed he believed their interactions were consensual despite the woman’s assertions that she was not in a condition to consent.
