4-7-2023 (TAIPEI) Taiwanese singer-host Aaron Yan has been summoned by police to give testimony over allegations made by his ex-boyfriend, internet celebrity Yao Le, that he took nonconsensual sex videos of him, which were later leaked onto the internet. Yao Le, who is now 21, also claimed that he was underage at the time of the incident.
On July 3, Taiwanese media reported that Aaron, 37, was summoned to testify at the Women’s and Children’s Protection Division of Taipei City Police Department, and the session lasted around three hours. A police spokesperson told reporters that Yao Le had made a police report.
Furthermore, as the police suspect that Aaron, formerly a member of the boy band Fahrenheit, took more sex videos of underage individuals, they also searched Aaron’s residence and office. Taiwanese media reported that the police were expected to confiscate his laptop and phone, as well as related electronic devices for evidence-gathering purposes.
When approached by the media for comments, Aaron simply said: “Don’t speculate.”
On June 20, Yao Le made an Instagram post accusing Aaron of nonconsensual sex and filming intimate videos of both of them without permission. The next day, he held a press conference in Taipei to clarify his Instagram post, and Aaron made an unexpected appearance with his assistants. Aaron spoke briefly to Yao Le, bowed before him and apologized in front of hordes of cameramen from media outlets for making Yao Le face situations he shouldn’t have had to at his age. He bowed again before he left.
