UPDATE ON CRIMINAL CASE FOR ALLEGED LIV MORGAN STALKER

By Mike Johnson on 2026-02-16 16:30:00

An updated status report was filed on the criminal case against Canadian Shawn Chan, the alleged Liv Morgan stalker who traveled to Florida before The United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division.

The Court had ruled on 1/31 that the trial would be pushed back to the Court's March session.  In the status report, it was stated that Chan is currently undergoing a "psychological examination" and that his right to a speedy trial is paused until that is completed.  The prosecution stated they expected that when they went to trial, they would need three days to present their case against him.  Chan's defense has not stated to the court how long they expect their defense to take before the court.  

Chan was charged with one count of interstate domestic violence against WWE star Liv Morgan after traveling to The United States last year and spending hours loitering at her property in Florida.   Chan flew from Scarborough, Ontario to Orlando, Florida on 5/26/25 (the same day he was issued a passport), 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 left a note at Morgan's home, containing his name, address in Canada and his phone number, which 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 6/3/25 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 has been incarcerated since his arrest in June and has failed at several attempts to be released until his trial.

In recent weeks, Chan pushed to introduce an insanity defense, which prosecutors argued was now time-barred because Chan's side took too long to introduce it.  The Court has deferred on making a decision on that situation, which led to the delay in trial, setting the stage for Chan's currently underway "psychological examination."
