HK Star's Sexcapades Hit Court

Computer worker accused of stealing star's serial sex pics

Share

(Newser) – The trial of a computer repairman accused of sparking the biggest sex scandal in Hong Kong's history has begun, the BBC reports. Prosecutors say the worker illegally copied and distributed 1300 photos taken by actor Edison Chen as he engaged in sex acts with a variety of famous young Hong Kong singers and actresses, creating an uproar that forced Chen to flee to Canada—and ruined the stars' squeaky-clean reputation.

Edison Chen's ego was his downfall. Just couldn't resist photographing himself in all of his glory. Along comes a repairman without scruples who takes advantage of the situation. The repairman should pay for his crime but i do not feel sorry for Chen. I do feel bad for the young women filmed, if it was done without their knowledge. Reply

Why do these stars keep evidence in plain sight knowing they have items that may protray them in an unfavorable sight? Reply
