He was dubbed Singapore’s Edison Chen after he posted self-made
videos of his sexual encounters with several women on the
Internet.
The man called himself Gary Ng and shared up to 33 sex videos
online since September 2008.
But as it turned out, it was a fictitious name.
His real name is Chen Guilin.
And now, Chen, 28, who is unemployed, is in trouble with the
law.
He has been slapped with 21 charges, including one charge of
possessing 1,100 obscene pictures and 437 video clips containing
pornographic material on a laptop and two portable hard drives.
He was first charged in June and turned up in court to face
more charges.
In all, Chen faces four counts of housebreaking, five counts of
forgery, six counts of possessing someone else’s identity card and
two counts of criminal breach of trust.
He also faces one charge each of cheating, misappropriation and
possessing a fraudulently obtained or stolen laptop.
Chen allegedly broke into the home of one of his victims between
Aug 31 and Sept 5, 2008, and stole items totalling more than
$36,000.
One of the items he allegedly stole was the victim’s OCBC bank
cheque book.
Over six days in September that year, he is said to have forged
the victim’s signature on the stolen cheques and induced the bank
to give him a total of $81,150.
Forged signature
He is also accused of breaking into the home of another victim
twice and later forging the victim’s signature on a stolen HSBC
cheque to obtain $10,000.
Chen, who is out on bail, is understood to have been arrested
after several victims made police reports.
The New Paper reported last year that someone calling himself
“Gary Ng” gained online notoriety after he posted his self-filmed
sex videos on various amateur porn sites and sex forums.
Most of the videos began with him in office wear before he
undressed.
He was careful to protect the identities of his partners by
editing away the faces of the girls and himself, but he gave the
videos titles based on the the women in them.
There were videos titled “Gary Ng vs Beer Promo Auntie”, “Gary
Ng vs Friend’s Niece” and “Gary Ng vs Chua Chu Kang girl”.
He claimed that he filmed his escapades, which took place at
home or in hotels, and put them online in order to get back at
women.
He said that he became disillusioned after three consecutive
failed relationships.
Among his charges, unlawfully possessing someone else’s identity
card and housebreaking carry the heaviest punishment.
If convicted, he can be fined and jailed 10 years on each
charge.
