中国移民在伦敦认罪:三年间至少犯下24项性犯罪
London Man Admits to Drugging, Raping and Filming Women for Years

A business owner in London on Friday admitted to dozens of sexual offenses against at least 12 women after drugging, raping and filming them using hidden cameras.
伦敦一名企业主于上周五承认了针对至少12名女性的数十项性犯罪,其作案手段包括下药、强奸和使用隐藏摄像头进行偷拍。

Judge Simon Stirling ordered the man, Xu Chao, 33, be kept in custody until his sentencing in November, when, the judge said, he would face a “lengthy” prison term.
法官西蒙·斯特林下令,将这名33岁的男子徐超(音)继续羁押,直至11月量刑。该法官表示,他将面临“长期”监禁。

Though Mr. Xu admitted to 24 offenses over three years, the Metropolitan Police said they believed his crimes were even “more widespread.” They issued a public appeal for other potential victims to come forward after his guilty pleas on Friday.
虽然徐超承认在三年间犯下24项罪行,但伦敦警方表示,他们认为其犯罪行为所涉范围还要“更广”。在他上周五认罪后,警方发布公告,呼吁其他受害者主动报案。

During the hearing in Woolwich Crown Court in southeast London, Mr. Xu appeared with a Mandarin interpreter. He admitted to four counts of rape, eight counts of assault by penetration, four counts of sexual assault, four counts of voyeurism, two counts of administering a substance with intent and two counts of “upskirting” — filming beneath women’s clothing without their consent — between February 2022 and June this year.
在伦敦东南部伍尔维奇皇家法院的庭审中,徐超在中文普通话口译员的协助下出庭。他承认了2022年2月至今年6月犯下的四项强奸罪、八项插入式性侵罪、四项性侵罪、四项偷窥罪、两项蓄意施用药物罪以及两项“裙底偷拍”罪。

Only three of the 12 victims tied to the charges have been identified, prosecutors said. Another three women were assigned code numbers in the indictment, and others were listed as “unknown persons.”
检方表示,目前与指控相关的12名受害者中,只有三人身份得到确认,另有三人在起诉书中以编号代替,其余则被列为“身份不明者”。

The police said detectives were still examining hundreds of explicit images and videos discovered on Mr. Xu’s phone and computers, which officers believe were obtained without the women’s consent.
警方表示,探员仍在检查从徐超手机和电脑中发现的数以百张裸露照片及视频,警方相信这些均是在未经女性同意的情况下拍摄的。

Mr. Xu, who the police say is originally from China, is believed to have moved to Britain in 2013. He was a postgraduate student at the University of Greenwich between 2015 and 2016, and later began running his own recruitment business.
据警方透露,徐超来自中国,据信于2013年搬到英国居住。2015至2016年间曾在格林威治大学读研究生,后开始经营自己的招聘公司。

A woman who attended a networking event at Mr. Xu’s home in Greenwich, in southeast London, first reported him to the police in June. After she began feeling unwell at the event, she told the authorities, he said she could sleep in his home to recover. He then raped her multiple times, she said.
今年6月,一名曾在徐超位于伦敦东南部格林威治的住所参加社交活动的女性率先报警。她告诉警方,当日在活动中感到不适后,徐超提议她留宿休息。她说,随后徐超对她多次实施了强奸。

During the investigation, officers discovered that Mr. Xu had administered drugs that cause “drowsiness and incapacitation,” the police said. Searches of his home discovered hidden camera devices in multiple locations, including inside an air freshener and in bathrooms, the police said.
办案过程中,警方发现徐超使用了会导致“嗜睡和丧失行动能力”的药物。对他住所的搜查中,警方发现了多个隐藏摄像装置,包括藏在空气清新剂和浴室里的设备。

Detective Chief Inspector Lewis Sanderson, who is leading the investigation, called Mr. Xu a “calculated, prolific sex offender” who had “preyed on unsuspecting women using cowardly methods.”
负责此案调查的侦缉总督察刘易斯·桑德森称,徐超是一名“处心积虑的性犯罪惯犯”,他“用卑劣的手段加害于毫无戒备的女性”。

The methods used bear a striking resemblance to those deployed by Zou Zhenhao, a student living in London who received a life sentence in June after he was convicted of drugging and raping women, and filming the abuse.
他的作案手法与另一案件高度相似。今年6月,28岁的伦敦学生邹镇豪因给女性下药、实施强奸并拍摄虐待过程,被判处无期徒刑。

Mr. Zou, 28, was convicted of attacking 10 women in England and China between 2019 and 2023. But investigators said they had identified 50 more victims in videos he had recorded using hidden cameras in his homes.
28岁的邹镇豪被认定2019至2023年间在中英两国侵犯了10名女性,但调查人员表示,通过其住所内的隐藏摄像头拍摄的视频还识别出另外50名受害者。

The Metropolitan Police said that although no links had been found between the cases involving the two men, they were keeping an “open mind.”
伦敦警方表示,尽管目前未发现徐邹两案存在关联,但警方会保持“开放态度”。
