Taiwans Edison Chen Justin Lee Surrenders to Authorities
Dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, the 27-year-old walked into the Taipei District Prosecutors' Office on Thursday night, and later told authorities that he had been staying at a female friend's home these past days.
Lee said he decided to turn himself in after he heard that the police have been questioning his friends and family members.
However, he denied the allegations against him and insisted that everything which transpired had happened between consenting adults.
Speculation has been rife over which celebrities and models were involved in the scandal, after a few of the racy photos were published by Taiwan tabloids in recent weeks.
Taiwan authorities have been investigating ten police officers over how the photos, which are part of a larger collection of footage and photographs recovered from Lee's apartment by the police, made their way into the pages of the tabloids.
Lee's collection of racy photos and footage has become highly sought-after among Taiwan netizens, with many of them labelling Lee as "Taiwan's Edison Chen ".
No new photos have surfaced so far.
Taiwan model-actress Maggie Wu has also been embroiled in the case, after a Taiwan news programme reported that she had admitted to being one of the women Lee photographed, citing a SMS they claim Wu had sent, but Wu later said she had never sent such an SMS to the media.
