Something i found a bit disturbing was Popular singer Edison Chen found himself the victim of a computer repair shop gone bad. He had dropped his laptop off for repairs unaware that he would soon see himself publicized world wide in many pornographic photos stolen from his computer. Edison Chen is known for the recent movie "The Dark Knight". It's sad that someone can cut the break they might need to become more famous only to fall prey to the inhuman thoughts and wishes of people less deserving.
Sadly people will know him from one of the largest sexual scandals that have hit the Hong Kong/ Chinese film industries scene.
The scandal has sense become known as the "Edison Chen Incident," exploiting digital photographs of Chen in sexual acts with celebrities including Bobo Chan and Gillian Chung.
Police arrested eight employees at the computer repair shop responsible for the releasing of property over the internet. The police believe over a thousand images were stolen off the computer, many of which were leaked over the Internet to either forums or web sites devoted to anonymous submition for photographs dealing in pornographic material.
In many Asian countries the tabloids are much more invasive, then what we find within the united states or Europe. Sadly this scandal made it's way on the front page of tabloids for quite some time, releasing photo after photo. Some of the celebrities considered suicide after many detrimental attacks on their careers and reputation within the community.
Sadly it has only taken rumors of more videos and pictures to come for Chinese and other Asian viewers to constantly search and find more illegal material in relation to this case.
Police commissioner Tang King Shing declared possession of photographs in relation to this case is illegal and grounds for arrest after constant release of photographs was made via the Internet.
The commissioner was under review and constant interrogation by press and lawmakers as he had openly stated he would indite anyone who had downloaded the photographs. Reasonably the greatest concerns by citizens were simply that the police had taken special interest in this one case due to the victims celebrity status, and had not taken the same interest in prosecution for people with less fame.
Chen's image was tainted and hurt extremely due to his constant centering of his career around a fan base consisting of teenage women within Asia. It is a growing concern that his reputation and career may never be able to be repaired due to his cultivation of his status amongst this fan base.
Perhaps what is more concerning is that these photos may have not had the concent by the women in question. Chen has sense been removed from many upcoming features and will sadly be known for something publicly intruded on through illegal manipulation of his property.
