[NEWS] Hong Kong's Celebrity Sex Scandal

[ayu_fan929]

I'm not sure if anyone wants to discuss about this, but there's a celebrity sex scandal involving Edison Chen and his ex girlfriends (who also happen to be celebrities) that has been on the news in Hong Kong.

The female artists that currently have been affected are: Gillian Chung (of Twins), Bobo Chan and Cecilia Cheung.

While HK police have been trying to catch the source, more pictures were released today and there are rumours that even more will be released tomorrow.

I'm not allowed to post any links to the pictures (so if you're curious - go find them on your own) but here's some of the media's reports + Edison's apology video.

News article from Reuters:

1,000-plus nude pictures stolen from HK star's computer (+photos)
8:45AM Tuesday February 05, 2008

HONG KONG - Photos purportedly showing a Hong Kong actor partially nude with several starlets were copied from his computer when it was serviced last year and later distributed over the internet, police said.

The photographs, seemingly of actor and singer Edison Chen in bed with singer Gillian Chung, along with suggestive images of actress Cecilia Cheung, were recently posted online, sparking a media frenzy in the celebrity-mad former British colony.

While Chung's company, Emperor Entertainment Group, initially said the photograph of the normally squeaky-clean star was a digital fake, Hong Kong police said some 1,300 private shots of celebrities had been stolen from a faulty personal computer belonging to an individual who took it to a computer shop for servicing.

"A person had taken his computer to be fixed, but during the maintenance period, someone used dishonest means to take some information from the computer and distributed this information indiscriminately to others," assistant police commissioner Wong Fook-chuen told reporters.

While the police gave no specific names, Hong Kong's Ming Pao newspaper reported the photographs belonged to Edison Chen, 27.

"A person in the shop found hidden inside (Chen's) computer, confidential nude pictures of naked female stars, which were then secretly copied," Ming Pao reported, quoting an anonymous source.

The computer shop was subsequently raided by police officers in a widening investigation across the territory, which has led to eight arrests for infringing obscene material laws, and the seizure of over 1,000 explicit images including six women, four of whom were public figures, the police said.

In a statement on his blog over the weekend, Chen criticised some of the recent media coverage and widespread publishing of the images.

"I would like for u (sic) to respect the situation that everyone is in and report the truth to the fullest."

He didn't clarify whether the images had been faked or stolen, but his manager said Chen would co-operate with the police investigation.

Hong Kong's police commissioner, Tang King-shing, said the case was being treated seriously and warned the possession and distribution of such images might be illegal.

But internet users and activists have since challenged this position, saying the police were being overly harsh.

I read the latest news...the uploader of the photos call himself 'kira' and he just uploaded new pics and that a video clip will be coming soon. He also challeged the HK police 'catch me if you can'

This is really bad for the female artists...bobo chan who is retired from the industry was about to get married to a wealthy man but the wedding got postponed to don't know when...cecilia is married with a kid and don't know if the marriage will be ok...gillian's innocent image is pretty much destroyed, her career is at stake. I dunno if I should feel bad for these female artists...why would they agree to take these pics in the first place...-__-

There was a list of possible female artists that might have nude pics with him. They were once worked with and had rumor with edison. THANK GOD ayu chose shawn yue over this edison for distance love or else there's a chance she could be on the list.
