Acquittal
In September 2011, Stephen Chan and his co-defendants were found not guilty on all counts after prosecutors failed to establish beyond reasonable doubt that Chan was aware of a HK$300,000 payment withheld from TVB and five actresses. The court also confirmed that Chan’s earnings from Olympic City shopping mall were for performance work and did not conflict with his administrative role at TVB.[1][2][3]
Following this acquittal, several artists associated with Chan at TVB saw their contracts not renewed.
