More sex videos allegedly filmed by Justin Lee (李宗瑞) have been circulating since Monday, with investigators saying it was difficult to prevent the videos from spreading.
At least 10 new sex films apparently related to the Lee case have appeared since Monday.
In those films, someone resembling Lee is seen engaging in sexual acts with several young women.
The films were shot in the same room, which is believed to be a room in Lee’s residence.

Huang said the circulation of such material may have violated regulations concerning the distribution of sexual material and offenses against privacy, and warned people to stop spreading them.
Lee, who has been accused of drugging and raping a number of women, among them celebrities, and filming the acts, turned himself in to prosecutors on Thursday after three weeks on the run.
