It has gone too far. The last straw was when he alleged that he was molested. It is a big blow, a self-destruction of his own image. Because of that silly prank most in the public lose interest and labeled him as kuailan Kia.
Now that the public is not interested, coupled with the fact that his own parents can't assure that he will stop his posting, it is unlikely that they would not continue with the process.
Whether he is truly a fighter or just being kuailan, we will only find out after his release. Meanwhile, all these pleads from the lawyers and parents are not helpful. It only bring jeers of "now scare already Ah?" from those who oppose while the neutrals will say, "if scare like that, why start at all". After a few months, even his supporters will forget about him. Only his parents will be with him.
