The respective representatives of Edison Chen and Gillian Chung have condemned the sexually explicit photos allegedly showing the stars in bed.

On Monday, in a statement to the press, Gillian’s music label, Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG), said: "Our company has found some criminal activity on the internet. Someone has used digital alteration to create distasteful photographs of our company’s artist, Gillian Chung. As this is a serious matter, our company is currently investigating the source of these photographs and the identity of the person who released them.

"We have reported the matter to the police and the matter is being dealt with by our lawyers. Once we have identified the perpetrators, we will be taking legal action against them.

"Distribution of pornographic material is a criminal offence and any publications showing or distributing these photographs must cease at once, otherwise our company will be taking whatever legal action is required."

Apple Daily, a Hong Kong newspaper, later reported that EEG has filed a police report and that the case is being investigated by the Commercial Crime Bureau’s Technology Crime Division.

Edison’s lawyers released a statement on Monday saying: "Our law firm has been instructed by Mr Edison Chen, in light of the publication of some distasteful photographs on the internet, to make this announcement on behalf of him to condemn strongly this irresponsible behaviour. We reserve all legal rights and will pursue these against anyone who distributes or publishes this material."

A spokeswoman for Edison later denied media reports that Edison had gone to Wanchai police station to file a police report.

She said: "The company and Edison have not yet gone to the police. We are still discussing with our lawyers, so we cannot comment."
