Cecilia Cheung Pak-chi yesterday broke her silence on last year's internet sex-photos scandal - using a TV interview to launch a blistering attack on the star at the centre of it, Edison Chen Koon-hei.

Addressing her words to the exiled actor, she said: 'I've had enough of you. You are now talking about justice and you want to protect us? I am very disappointed ... You are lying with your eyes wide open.'

She told her interviewer: 'He has done nothing. The photos are still circulating online. How can we live a healthy and happy life? How can we put ourselves back on our feet?'

The actress recorded the interview for iCable on Thursday after Chen testified before a Hong Kong magistrate in a Vancouver court ahead of the trial of computer technician Sze Ho-chun, accused of leaking nude photos of the actor with eight actresses and singers - all former lovers.

She said she had chosen not to speak to the media until now - or, as she put it, had 'sentenced herself to jail' - not out of shame but because she believed she had to shoulder the blame for her own actions. She had decided to come out now because of Chen's words in Vancouver, she said.

Chen, 28, said in court: 'I am determined to protect [the girls'] innocence. They have suffered enough.' Outside court, he said: 'I hope every one of the victims can become healthy again and be happy again.'
