The Offender Database reported that Bo Yang, the Sheffield Rapist and British Guest, 41, violently raped vulnerable women in England.
Shortly after 11 PM on April 15th 2025, he arrived at the victim’s residence in Burnley and had a conversation with her.
After a financial dispute, Bo Yang retrieved a knife from his right pocket, compelled the victim beside a bed, and utilised the knife to shred her clothing.
Bo Yang thereafter pulled a metal bar from his luggage and violently assaulted the man with it. At that moment, he perpetrated rape and sexual abuse against her.
Unsatisfied with perpetrating the horrific sexual assault, Bo Yang then retrieved rope and tape from his backpack and restrained the victim around her head with tape.
He thereafter employed the knife to cut her.
Bo Yang subsequently removed items from the victim’s pocketbook, including her bank cards and cash. He employed her facial recognition on the victim’s phone to facilitate a transfer of funds into his bank account.
The woman escaped from the premises while Bo Yang was momentarily distracted and sought assistance from neighbours, who contacted the police at 3:46 AM, therefore concluding her five-hour nightmare.
Bo Yang was identified using CCTV footage and forensic investigations, including fingerprints obtained from the tape he had applied to the victim’s face.
In what is believed to be a first in the UK, police officers successfully recovered data from ‘WeChat,’ the Chinese equivalent of WhatsApp.
This evidence was crucial in this case.
Bo Yang, from Winn Grove, Sheffield, was apprehended and subsequently charged with two counts of rape, sexual assault, assault occasioning real bodily injury, robbery, and possession of a bladed article.
After a trial at Preston Crown Court, Yang was found guilty on all charges today, December 12th. He was placed in detention and will be sentenced at the same court on February 6th, 2026.
