Edison Chen apologizes

According to reports, artist Edison Chen entrusted his lawyer this afternoon to release a pre-recorded short video statement, apologizing publicly to those affected by the online photos. In the video, Edison Chen appeals to the public who once downloaded relevant pictures not to forward them to others, so as to help the victims heal from their pain. He hopes that those who still hold these photos can destroy them. He indicated that many people's lives have been affected by this malicious act, and he feels the anguish and distress over it. As the matter has already been handed over to the police, he would not make further comment.
