UCL statement in relation to ongoing court case
29 January 2025
We are aware that a former student, Zhenhao Zou, is facing a number of serious sexual assault charges and these have been reported in the media.
We understand allegations of this nature are deeply distressing, and our priority is to support our students, alumni, staff, and wider community.
Due to the risk of prejudicing criminal proceedings, we are unable to say anything about the case at this time.
How can our community access support?
Our absolute priority is to do everything that we can to support our community. We know that allegations of this nature are deeply distressing, and we have extensive support services that are available 24/7 for any students, alumni or staff impacted by this, directly or indirectly.
For further information about these services go to: Student support, Staff support.
