Edison's Conquests Sex Photos – Suspect Arrested Retrieved on 31 January 2008. The photos badly affected Bobo's career and personal life: strong public scrutiny, cancellation of media contracts, ending all product endorsements in her image, and the end of her engagement. Bobo went into seclusion along with those involved in the photos for over a year in hopes to return when public scrutiny has lessened. She traveled to the US for a time to avoid the media storm to find some peace; unfortunately, even after a year, it remained in public consciousness.

Eventually, Gillian, Cecilia, and Edison successfully returned to the entertainment industry, however, Bobo never returned. Bobo decided to leave the entertainment industry and focus on managing a crystal gem shop, Crystal Jamming, in the summer of 2009. In a small public ceremony with some entertainment friends and press upon the opening of her crystal boutique in the North Point district of Hong Kong, she made it clear she would be leaving the entertainment industry to start a more quiet existence to avoid causing further trouble to the people closest to her.{{Cite web |last=Sun |first=Andrew |last2=Chen |first2=Vivian |date=21 August 2009 |title=Star linked to sex-photos scandal gets on with life at shop opening |url=http://www.scmp.com/article/690295/star-linked-sex-photos-scandal-gets-life-shop-opening |website=South China Morning Post}}
