Edinburgh Student Convicted of Rape and Abuse | Edinburgh News
Description
A shocking case out of Edinburgh: 21-year-old student Ziyi Shi has been convicted of three counts of rape, abusive behavior, and violating a court order — crimes spanning nearly a year and a half. The abuse, including biting, kicking, emotional degradation, and forcing the victim to complete his coursework, occurred while he studied engineering at the University of Edinburgh. The victim, a fellow student, sought help after confiding in an advisor, and the judge called the offenses “very serious and grave.” Shi, who initially denied the charges, is now in custody awaiting sentencing, suspended from university, and placed on the sex offenders’ register. This case underscores the urgent need for student support systems in the face of such trauma.
