Thousands of pictures of the Grudge 2 star dating back to 2001 are thought to have been copied from his computer when he sent it in for repairs.
They began appearing on the internet two weeks ago but were initially thought to be fake. An unknown person has since uploaded dozens of new pictures every day and CDs of the images have been sold in shops in the city of Shenzhen.
The scandal has dominated headlines in Hong Kong and police have made eight arrests, although they have been accused of being "over-zealous" in their investigation.
Chen, a Canadian-born rapper and actor, has issued an apology on YouTube to "anyone who has been affected by this strange, strange ordeal".
Hong Kong's Catholic bishop John Tong urged people to stop passing on the images, which feature well-known Canto-pop singers and actresses including Gillian Chung, Bobo Chen and Cecilia Cheung.
The South China Morning Post quotes him as saying: "It is also biblical teaching that we should speak no evil, see no evil and hear no evil. It is important that we should keep our mind decent and, perhaps needless to say, we should not post or circulate pictures."
