Justin Lee is wanted for allegedly raping a woman and filming his other bedroom trysts with many showbiz performers, models and A-list film actresses, allegedly against their will or without their knowledge. But many of the females celebrities were filmed with their knowledge many who have seen the videos showing over 60 females with Lee. Only about 10 vicitimes were filmed without their knowledge out of the 60. According to the alleged victim, Lee's most common method for raping women was to drink a woman under the table, then offer to drive her home. After the woman got into his car, he would drive her back to his home in Taipei's upscale Xinyi District (信義) and give them a glass of water that was drugged. Lee would then rape the woman and film the entire process and after the woman woke up, he would play innocent and say the woman raped him, the alleged victim said.
Friends of Justin Lee’s were reported by local media as saying that they thought he simply liked to show off his affluence and to party, and did not think he was someone who would rape women and record it on film. In an effort to terminate the distribution of the leaked photographs, the Criminal Investigation Bureau's (CIB) Technology Crime Center and Taipei Criminal Investigation Division (TCID) issued search warrants and found two men suspected of spreading the photos in Sanchong District of New Taipei City and Chungli City of Taoyuan County.
TCID investigator Tang Sih-huai stated that the distribution of pornographic content violates Criminal Law Rule 235 and Rule 315-2. Violators may face penalties of two to five years in prison, detention or a fine of NT$30,000 (USD$1,000) to NT$50,000 (USD$1,665) . The two men were arrested Saturday for allegedly spreading the sexual photographs of Justin Lee and several female celebrities.
And rumors are Taiwan gangsters have put a NT$5 million (USD$166,600) price on the head of Justin Lee after they were commissioned by a female celebrity, who is afraid that her sex photos will be exposed. The unknown celebrity is reported to have turned to the United Bamboo Gang, the largest of Taiwan's three main Triads, for help, hoping they can locate Justin before the police. She hopes Justin will not name and shame all the models and celebrities he has slept with. If he should testify, she want him to say that the women in the photos or videos are one-night-stands or just girls who resemble certain public figures. Meanwhile, Justin's mother is rumored to also be seeking help from gangsters too and plans to pay hush money to the victims, hoping they will testify that the photos and video clips were taken of their own free will.
The TCID stated it has confidence that Justin Lee a.k.a Li Zhongrui (李宗瑞) will be apprehended within the coming days. After the incident was first reported, police summoned Justin Lee for questioning, but he was released because of what they said was insufficient evidence. However, police later discovered on the hard-drive of his computer, which had been confiscated as evidence, multiple videos of him having sex with women. According to local reports, the police are still in the process of trying to locate Juctin Lee, as local gang members are also getting involved in the case and are using blackmail and intimidation to find Lee.
The Taipei District Prosecutors' Office on Wednesday issued a wanted notice for Justin Lee after discovering that he had vacated his original residence and could not be contacted. The prosecutors said they had also begun calling in those in the videos for questioning. Maggie Wu, a model and one of the alleged female celebrities in the nude pictures and sex video, scheduled and later canceled her press conference and called for the general public to cease distributing the photographs. She is also reportedly an ex-girlfriend of Lee. He was often seen coming and going from fashion-industry parties and nightclubs with various models including Wu.
Democratic Progressive Party Taipei City Councilor Hsu Shu-hua (許淑華), who was to accompany Maggie Wu Ya Xin to explain her alleged involvement in the scandal, said Wu and her mother had originally planned to come out to urge the public to stop spreading the explicit photographs and videos filmed by Lee, but canceled the press conference hours before the event due to mounting stress. Legislator Hsu said Wu and her family had wanted to clarify the matter via a press conference scheduled, but her agency canceled the press conference at the last minute because Wu said she was unable to face the press after the news about the press conference drew great public attention.
Hsu Shu-hua confirmed that Wu sounded fragile over telephone calls. Hsu urged the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation. She also said that it is of utmost importance to protect the victims' self-esteem by preventing the distribution of the photographs. "The circulation of those sex photographs and videos has put Wu and her family under great pressure, and she has been emotionally unstable … She is also a victim in the incident and we urge the public not to spread those photographs and hurt the victims again," she said. Hsu even asked for Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin to become involved in the investigation and bring it to a swift end. Her manager claimed Maggie was drugged by Justin, but the video and pictures show that she was a willing participant.
Hsu declined to comment on Wu's alleged relationship with Justin Lee, while urging prosecutors and police to stop the illegal circulation of the photographs and find Justin Lee. While Justin Lee is still on the run, the photographs and videos he filmed have been circulating on the Internet. "Spreading the photographs and videos will not help the case. It will only cause more harm to the victims. What we should be focusing on is the whereabouts of Justin Lee and his illegal acts," she said. Meanwhile, model-actress Maggie Wu (吴亚馨) is said to remain in a fragile state and has lost 5kg since her nude pics with Justin were leaked by the police.
According to local reports, Lai has insisted that she did not contact Lee at all. Her identity as a wanted woman, however, has allowed police to keep her in custody. The police reported that in addition to Lee's case, Lai will also be under individual investigation on charges of forgery. Lai's sister, Lai Mu-rong, is also currently in custody and is being investigated by the Taipei District Public Prosecutors Office (TDPPO).
According to local reports, police did not formerly begin their investigation on Lee until discs allegedly containing nude photographs of more than 60 models, actresses and singers were reported and found at his apartment. Deputy director of Taipei City's Criminal Investigation Division Tan Szu-huai (唐斯淮) said the division had formed a task force to look into the illegal dissemination of the photographs and videos online and would bring Wu in for questioning about the case.
Allegedly, Justin Lee, son of rich businessman Lee Yue-cang, liked to show off his wealth, attend parties, and has had several love affairs with celebrities like Wu. Affected by his son's negative news, Lee's father immediately resigned as a board member of Yuanta Securities in an effort to shield the company from negative press.
The case first opened in July last year, when twin sisters accused Lee of drugging and raping the elder sister, and filming the entire process. Prosecutors on Aug. 8 issued a wanted notice for Lee. It immediately drew attention as the investigation found that there could be more than 60 victims in the case, reportedly involving showbiz performers, models and A-list actresses. While Justin Lee is still on the run, the photographs and videos he filmed have been circulating on the Internet. In order to track him down, Lee's mother, Shi Jin-xiu, was also subpoenaed and listed as defendant in the case.
