JAKARTA - Actor and singer Aaron Yan became the subject of the latest #MeToo case. A man revealed that he had been a victim of Aaron when he was a minor.

On June 20, content creator Yao Le shared a story via Instagram containing his experience with the former Fahrenheit member. Yao Le's writing received a reply from the actor which led to a press conference.

My curiosity for you and celebrity in general makes me send you a friendship request. Unexpectedly, you accept it. Since then we've been sending messages to each other and you invited me to your house to watch Netflix," wrote Yao Le.

Yao Le admitted that he was 16 years old and lived alone while Aaron Yan was 31 years old. Yao said Aaron abused him while he was sleeping.

"At that time I was 16 years old and living in Taipei alone to study. You are a prince, I did what you said because you are a celebrity, idol, and my partner," continued Yao Le.

Yao Le claims Aaron Yan often records without permission when they have sex. Although Yao Le refused, Aaron Yan continued to make promises but Aaron's attitude did not match his promise.

"At that time I felt maybe this was what your partner was experiencing in general and you just taught me. The scary thing was when you filmed me secretly when I didn't notice, until a video spread that was detrimental to my whole life," said Yao Le.

Yao Le also mentioned that he had been contacted by another Aaron Yan couple. At first he was asked to ignore what other people said until the incident was repeated and they broke up.

The video of their sexual scandal that spread in 2018 caused Yao Le to be expelled from school. However, Yao Le felt sad because Aaron Yan didn't help anything.

"I always remember receiving a lot of private messages while working in Beijing. Our sex videos were spread. I was very angry... but you actually underestimated and said you didn't know why the video was spread," he said.

"For a long time, I was afraid to leave the house and was forced out of school. My whole job was stopped suddenly... but my life was destroyed. You told me that you had taken care of it, you gave me thousands of dollars for the cost of the lawyer and myself," continued Yao Le.

Yao Le said Aaron Yan was accused of having an affair with several people and he defended Aaron even though the rumors were true.

I swear I'm not doing this for attention. I feel sad seeing the news about the past a few days ago. I've had a scene on the recent subway and I keep thinking about all this," he said.

"I'm afraid you're like this to a lot of people, taking advantage and your status as a celebrity. So I can't hold it anymore. It's been five years. Right now, you should be facing the public," said Yao Le.

Aaron Yan replied to the statement through a letter containing acknowledgment of several points conveyed by Yao Le, including when they were in a relationship when Yao Le was a minor.

Thank you Yao Le for talking and giving me the opportunity to face the time bomb I was worried about. I'm not proud of who I am. When talking about relationships, I do a lot of unusual things," wrote Aaron Yan through his social media.

In a statement, Aaron Yan recounted their ups and downs. They last communicated in September 2022 when Yao Le asked Aaron to promote an event. Aaron also stated that she did not distribute the video with Yao Le, which she allegedly spread when her cell phone was being repaired.

I am willing to face the mistakes I made once again. This is the result of me not being able to handle relationships well. Once again I want to apologize to everyone for making bad examples. I was once a bad person so I spent time participating in consultations and classes," explained Aaron Yan.

Aaron Yan ended his statement by saying he was ready to meet Yao Le in person. Yao Le did not heed that statement.

Yao Le held a press conference on Wednesday, June 21 and discussed the incident. Aaron Yan came to the conference without being invited and was seen bowing. Aaron said he would not interfere with the press conference process.

"Yao Le, I'm here to apologize for what you shouldn't have faced during your life. I'm sorry. If there is a continuing issue, I will respond," said Aaron Yan in front of Yao Le.

When leaving the press conference, Aaron Yan claimed everything was done on a consecutive basis, which means the two parties know what happened as long as they were in a relationship.

"That's right. We did have a relationship. But (the record) was not taken secretly," said Aaron Yan.

"I didn't force him to do anything. I can't imagine he's going to do this way," he continued.
