Mr. Lam, who is also the owner of Chen’s management company, said it was up to the actor to decide whether to quit showbiz after the scandal.
He described Chen as a ‘kid’ and urged the public to give him a chance to explain what had happened and let him ‘get back on his feet again’.
Sudden Weekly tabloid said the racy photo scandal is said to have started because the actor’s businessman father was in debt.
It said that after Chen took his laptop to be serviced in 2006, risqué pictures that he allegedly took of women including Twins singer Gillian Chung and actress Cecilia Cheung had been passed around by insiders in the computer industry.
But the photos did not become publicly available until they fell into the hands of his father’s creditors and were leaked onto the Net, the report said.
For the others involved in the photo scandal, the fall-out continues.
Cheung’s father-in-law, actor Patrick Tse, has denied the latest round of rumors that she has been kicked out of the Tse family.
Chung, who apologized on Monday, will make her first TV appearance since the scandal on a charity show tomorrow. But a Twins concert scheduled for April has been postponed to September.
Meanwhile, the charges against the first man arrested in connection with the scandal was released in court on Friday after the Obscene Articles Tribunal found that the photograph should have been classified as ‘indecent’ - a lesser offence.
Chung Yik Tin, 29, who was accused of uploading a photograph showing someone resembling Chung, half naked and spreading her legs on a bed, was initially charged and refused bail for publishing an obscene photograph.
Police have arrested nine people in connection with photographs and videos on the Internet over the last two weeks.
Three suspects have been formally charged, including a 24-year-old man in
He did not enter a plea and was freed on bail of HK$10,000.

‘On the Internet there are a lot of nude pictures and sexy photos, but the police don’t bring charges’ except in the current case involving the singers,’ said Oiwan Lam, a local blogger who participated in the demonstration and edits inmediahk.net, a citizen-reporter Web site.
Cecilia Cheung, who also had pictures leaked, is reporting that she is not splitting from her husband and has even quietly returned to work filming a makeup commercial through a spokesperson.
Cecilia is reportedly in good health. Her marriage to Nicholas Tse is on the contrary not on the rocks as reported and is even stronger than before. LOL
Meanwhile on the other hand, Gillian Chung has been involved in several polls where the netizens have voted against seeing her on television. They have branded her statement childish and are up in arms to prevent her from returning to work smoothly. There are rumors that Twins might be heading for a split.
The public has called Gillian’s public statement about the pictures childish and want to make her transition back to the entertainment industry as rough as possible.
