A difficult moment for one of Hong Kong top pop stars: SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) EDISON CHEN SAYING: "Today I have come back to Hong Kong to stand before you and account for myself. I have never escaped from my responsibility." Hong Kong has eagerly awaited the return of Edison Chen ever since one of the largest Internet sex scandals rocked the region. Chen was seen on the Internet posing with starlets. He admitted that he owned the pictures. SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) EDISON CHEN, SAYING "I admit that most of these photos being circulated on the Internet were taken by me. But these photos were very private and have not been shown to people and were never intended to be shown to anyone. These photos were stolen from me illegally and distributed without my consent. There is no doubt whoever obtained these photos had been uploading them on the Internet with malicious and deliberate intent. this matter has deteriorated to the extent that society as a whole has been affected by this, and in this regard I am deeply saddened. I would like now to apologise to all the people for all the suffering that has been caused and all the problems that have arisen from this," Hong Kong's media is unlikely to let this story fade as the police are still investigating who who put the Internet pictures out to the public. But chen now claims he will make a retreat from the Hong Kong entertainment industry. He claims he will spend time reflecting and working for charitable causes. Tara Joseph-Hui, Reuters, Hong Kong.
