Some updates on the criminal case against Shawn Chan, the Canadian man charged with one count of interstate domestic violence against WWE star Liv Morgan after traveling to The United States and spending hours loitering at her property in Florida.
Chan flew from Scarborough, Ontario to Orlando, Florida on 5/26, telling customs agents in Florida that he would be staying at the WWE Performance Center - which has no housing facilities. Four days later, according to the criminal complaint against him, Chan traveled several hours to Liv Morgan's home, circled her property several times and entered through her backyard. He then attempted to gain entry to her front door but was unsuccessful. He found and held an air pellet that was sitting inside her front porch and after waiting several hours, left a note and departed.
According to the criminal complaint against him, Chan's note read, in part, "It's me Shawn the guy you all hang out with on [gaming platform deleted] online. You've been trying to contact me, or should I say reach out to me when I'm absent from that game. So who's the stalker huh?! I NEVER said and did anything bad for over 10 years, yet you all dared hating me for no reason. I came here to pay just a friendly visit, nothing more. Yet, I'm the one who looks like a stalker thx to all of you. And you all think I'm going to have empathy, sympathy and care about any of you anymore? I will start talking and doing whatever I want despite all your shoosh finger faces that you all make. Yea, I just wanted to let you know that I was here."
Chan was arrested by the FBI on 6/3 after WWE security, having seen security footage from Morgan's home, recognized him and alerted authorities. Chan was indicted on 6/25 and faces five years imprisonment.
Chan filed a motion on 8/20 asking the court to reconsider that he is being held without bail through the trial. The 8/20 filing stated that his attorneys have secured a salvation army location that Chan can reside in until the trial takes place. The Court has yet to rule on that request. As of this writing, Chan remains incarcerated in Hernando County, Florida.
Chan has also signed a Waiver of Speedy Trial in order, according to court records, to "allow adequate time to conduct a psychiatric evaluation of the defendant."
Chan is currently expected to stand trial in November.
Court records indicate that prosecutors expect the trial will only last a few days.
