China News Service, April 30, according to Hong Kong’s "Wen Wei Po" report, Hong Kong artist Chen Edison and a number of actress bed photos have been circulating on the Internet for more than a year, accused of being the source of the issuance of lewd photos of computer maintenance staff Shi Kejun, after 6 days of trial, 29 days in Kowloon City Magistrates’ Court was found guilty of three counts of dishonest access to computers, real-time remand cell waiting for sentencing next month 13.
The chief judge said the charges were so serious that imprisonment was inevitable. Although Shi’s conviction appears to have ended the case, who was the first "Qina" to post lewd photos of an artist on the Internet remains a mystery.
The chief judge read out the verdict, saying that he accepted the prosecution’s argument that the defendant had downloaded bed photos from an external hard drive to a computer, and then used the computer to upload bed photos to a server connected to the Internet to obtain photos that did not belong to him. On June 8, 2006, while Shi was repairing the computer at the Home Products Store, he used the computer to log in to the server to download 1,300 lewd photos, showed the photos to two female designers of the Home Products Store on the computer screen, and burned them into a CD and sent them to Liang Tingxin.
The chief judge also analyzed the evidence of Chen Edison and 14 prosecution witnesses, saying that most of the key witnesses in the case were honest and reliable, and the two female designers Cai Yufen and Liang Tingxin were unswerving under cross-examination by the defense lawyer. As for Cai’s ignorance that his colleague Liang Tingxin was given a bed photo CD, the chief judge believed that the defendant’s purpose in the home store was to repair the computer, so Cai did not know whether the defendant was burning the disc or repairing the computer, which is very normal.
The president judge also pointed out that Xie Liqiao’s evidence was straightforward and unevasive. Although the defense questioned that Xie Liqiao, a salesperson, was responsible for repairing Chen Edison’s computer, it was unusual, but the president judge pointed out that in a small computer store, it was not uncommon for a staff member to also perform maintenance and sales work. Moreover, he only repaired the computer according to the established steps, and it was impossible to know in advance that the computer contained lewd photos. If Xie wanted to frame the defendant, he would not have truthfully stated that he did not see the process of copying the bed photos from the external hard drive.
As for Ye Zhaoshan, the owner of the computer shop, the evidence was straightforward and simple. Since Xie Liqiao took the initiative to inform him that he found a lewd photo during maintenance, he had no reason to question Xie’s concealment of the incident. Another maintenance worker, Chen Weiming, also said in court that due to salary issues, he was no longer friends with the boss Ye Zhaoshan, reflecting that he would not "make a confession" with Ye.
The defense lawyer said in court that the defendant understood that the charge was serious and imprisonment was inevitable, but pointed out that the defendant was only 21 years old when he committed the crime, and hoped that the court would take into account the defendant’s age and request a social service order report.
After hearing the arguments of both the prosecution and the defense, the magistrate said that the defendant’s violation of good faith in the case made the case particularly serious, so he would not consider imposing a social service order, but would request a report from the ********** to preserve the option of sentencing, and showed that real-time imprisonment was inevitable. The request for a report did not give the defendant false expectations.
