1,300 private shots of Chen in bed with at least half a dozen female celebrities

Hong Kong singer and actor Edison Chen said on Thursday he would step away from the Hong Kong entertainment industry to "heal himself", in his first public appearance since a sex scandal broke.

Hong Kong police said some 1,300 private shots of Chen in bed with at least half a dozen female celebrities had been copied by the staff of a computer repair shop from a faulty laptop believed to belong to Chen, sparking off a media frenzy.

The Canada-born Chen, a hip hop artist and Asian film star who has appeared in films such as Infernal Affairs, the Hong Kong triad film which inspired Martin Scorsese's Oscar-winning film "The Departed", admitted for the first time that most of the pictures circulating on the Internet had been taken by him.

"These photos were very private and have not been shown to people and were never intended to be shown to anyone," the 27-year-old said in a calm voice amid a flood of camera flashes from the hundreds of reporters gathered. .

"I have failed as a role model. However I wish that this matter will teach everyone a lesson."

Vancouver-born Hong Kong actor Edison Chen admitted Thursday taking most of the widely circulated photos showing him and several women performing sexual acts.

- either engaged in sex acts or in sexually suggestive poses.

"These photos were very private and have not been shown to people and were never intended to be shown to anyone," Chen said at a news conference, adding the photos were stolen and distributed without his approval.

Chen was born in Vancouver and attended secondary school in Richmond, B.C., before moving to Hong Kong where he was discovered in 1999 and asked to do a commercial.

Hong Kong police have already arrested several people in connection with the photos on suspicion of violating local laws governing obscene material, including the man who is accused of downloading the photos from a computer brought to a shop for repairs and publishing them on the Internet.

The scandal has dominated headlines in Hong Kong for weeks, with the images widely circulated over the Internet.

Chen, 27, who returned to Hong Kong from the U.S. Thursday, apologized profusely for the photos and said he would take an indefinite break from the Hong Kong entertainment industry after fulfilling his outstanding contracts and devote himself to charity and community work.

"I would like to apologize to all the ladies and to all their families for any harm or hurt they have been feeling. I'm sorry," Chen said, without identifying the women.

"I hope after today, I can have your forgiveness . . . I hope you all will accept my apologies and give me a chance," he said.

Cheung has not spoken publicly about the photos and Chung, a member of the Hong Kong female pop duo Twins, said last week she was "naive and silly" without confirming the authenticity of the pictures. Chung's management company, Emperor Entertainment Group, said earlier the photos were doctored.

Wearing a black jacket over an untucked striped shirt and dark blue jeans, Chen appeared nervous, taking a deep breath before reading a prepared statement in English to several hundred reporters who were cordoned off from the actor by several metal barriers.

He also said he failed as a role model.

"To all the young people in our community, let this be a lesson for you all. This is not an example to be set for you," Chen said.

Chen is mainly known for his singing and acting careers in the Chinese industry, with his main credits including the crime thriller "Infernal Affairs" - which was remade by Martin Scorsese as "The Departed" - and its two sequels.
