Personal life
Arrest
Vidal and her singer boyfriend Kelvin Kwan were arrested in Tokyo on 24 February 2009 over allegations of cannabis possession. Police were summoned when the pair were caught shoplifting in the district of Shibuya, and the illicit drug was subsequently found in a cigarette in their possession. Kwan confessed to the police that it had been given to him by a friend in Hong Kong, while Vidal said that she was not aware the cigarette contained cannabis. Urine tests later returned positive results for cannabis for Kwan, and the police allegedly found another banned substance in the pair's luggage. Kwan was released without charge after 32 days in jail. Local newspapers later reported that Vidal was being held for heroin possession.
On 24 April, Vidal pleaded guilty to heroin possession in a Tokyo court and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, suspended for three years. She was deported back to Hong Kong and did not serve any prison time.
