A man dubbed as “Singapore’s Edison Chen” has been
arrested for cheating-related offences.
Singapore police have confirmed the arrest of an unemployed
28-year-old Chinese man but he is currently out on bail and is due
to be charged in court.
Police said women had come forward and made police reports
against the man who has previously identified himself as “Gary
Ng”.
They said that they had been cheated of money by this man;
however, the cheating accusations are still not clear.
“Gary” shot to internet infamy after uploading a
series of explicit home-made videos with various women onto
his blog and online forums in September 2008.
According to Shin Min Daily News, he uploaded as
many 33 short clips with each video lasting from 10 to 30
seconds.
“Gary” initially claimed that the women — who ranged from
beer maids, young executives and university students
– were all “willing parties” to be filmed but he later
admitted that he secretly filmed those who did not agree.
These postings were removed but he later posted them on another
website for his “fans”. To protect the women’s identities as well
as his own, the faces on the videos were always blurred.
His exploits earned him the nickname of “Singapore’s
Edison Chen“ – a reference to the Hong Kong
actor whose nude photos with various stars were stolen
from his computer and widely circulated.
According to The New Paper, he said he filmed the
videos as a way of getting back at women. He explained that he
had become disillusioned after three straight failed relationships
in which his girlfriends cheated on him with other men.
He also told RazorTV last year that his
nickname ”Gary” was an acronym for “Girls Always Remember
You”.
