Alice Says Her Friend Normally Tolerated Alcohol Well, But This Time Became Drunk Very Quickly and Appeared to Floor On The Floor. The Alcohol Kicked in Suddenly For Alice Too, She Says.

“Normally When You Drink Too Much, You Feel Good For A While. But That Night I Just Felt Extremely Dizzy and Sleepy Right Away.”

Zou Persuaded Her It It Wouldn’t Take To Take a Taxi In The State in the State, She Told Us, And Asked Her To Take a Nap in His Bedroom. She says she agreed, knowing her friendly was all the apartment.

Alice Confided in A Few Close Friends, But Tok Things No Further.

“I Thought That, First, You Needed Evidence. And Something, Something Something Had To Have Happened Before You Call The Police.”

Alice Says The Next Time Zou’s face was nearly Four Years Later in the Media – After Hey Was Charged by Police.

“It should be daunting to Anyone (from) to be traumatized by Rape and Then British Legal System and The NHS, or Even Access The Services Provided for Victims,” ​​She Told Us.

The Friend – Who The BBC is Calling Jie – Told Used at All “Wasn’t Surprised at All” When He Heard Had Been Convicted.

“A Lot of Friends at The Time Probably Knew (What Zou Was Doing). I reckon some of us Female Friends Knew too.”

Jie Told Us Accidentally Drank From Someone Else’s Glass A Party in 2022, And then Became “Unwell” and “Very Sleepy”. Zou Then Told Hi Had Spiked The Drink – Says Jie – And Had Meant for A Woman at The Party to Drink It.

Jie Says Later Showed Him A Small Bag Of Drugs And Asked If He Wanted To “Him With Collaborate.” Hey Says He Took This That Wanted His Help Finding Girls Whose Drinks Heould Spike. Jie Says He Refused.

The BBC Asked Jie Why He Had Initially Continued to See and Why He didn’t Go Go To The Police. Jie Told Us Those Both Had Lots of Mutual Friends So It Was Difficult Not to Socialize Together. Hey Says He Did Warn His Friends About Zou, Telling Them Not to Hang Out Him Out Him “Because He Drugging People”.

Jie Doesn’t Thinking About Those Memories, Hey Heys, And That is Gone To The Police – Adding That Heh believed The Women’s Testimonies Were Enough To Convict Zou.

She thought about Calling The Police The Next Day, But Decided Against It. She feated it it would be very difficult to prove non-consent. “It’s Hard for me to Prove The Fact That I Was Willing To Go To His Place and That Was Not A Signal That I Was Consenting To Sex,” She Told Us.

She added that dongguan is a small place and there were a risk That people knew – Her ParaGues, Relatives and Colleagues – Would Find Out and Thinking. She Was “Indiscreet”.
