'Edison's Conquests' Sex Photos - 9th Suspect Arrested
11 February 2008
A 24-year-old man was arrested yesterday morning in Kowloon by Hong Kong police in connection with the sex photos, purportedly of celebrities including Edison Chen (陳冠希), Gillian Chung (鍾欣桐), Bobo Chan (陳文媛) and Cecilia Cheung (張栢芝), that have rocked Hong Kong showbiz. The man was charged this evening for breaking obscenity laws and will appear in a court in Kwun Tong tomorrow.
None of the celebrities purported to appear in the photos have been accused by police of any wrongdoing. Instead, the police investigation has focused on tracking down people who have leaked or spread the images.
The latest arrest brings the total number of arrests over the sex photos scandal to nine. The man arrested yesterday is the third person to be charged.
Yesterday, a protest march took place in Hong Kong to demonstrate against the police action. Police have been widely criticized, both in mainstream media and internet discussion boards, for what is perceived as the special treatment because this case involves celebrities, the invasion of privacy of internet users and the hunt for a scapegoat that has seen several arrests but no end to the constant leak of photos.
Protest organizers estimated the turnout to be 400. Police put the figure at 230.
