Liv Morgan’s alleged stalker, a Canadian wrestling fan named Shawn Chan, is trying to get released from jail before his criminal trial begins.
According to PWInsider, on August 20, Shawn Chan’s lawyers filed a motion, requesting the court to release him from jail until trial, saying he could live at a Salvation Army facility. The court has not decided on this request yet. For now, Chan is still being held in Hernando County, Florida.
On May 26, Chan flew from Scarborough, Ontario, to Orlando, Florida. When questioned by customs officers, he said he would be staying at the WWE Performance Center, which doesn’t have any living facilities.
Four days later, according to court documents, he traveled several hours to Liv Morgan’s house. He circled the property a few times, went into her backyard, and tried to get in through the front door but failed. He also picked up an air pellet that was on her porch, waited outside for hours, then left a note before leaving.
“It’s me Shawn, the guy you all play with online. You’ve been trying to reach me when I wasn’t in the game. So who’s the stalker? I never did anything bad for over 10 years, but you still hate me. I came here just for a friendly visit, nothing more. Yet I look like the stalker thanks to you. I won’t care about any of you anymore. I’ll start saying and doing whatever I want. I just wanted you to know I was here.”
WWE security saw footage from Morgan’s home, recognized Chan, and contacted the FBI. He was arrested on June 3. On June 25, he was officially charged and now faces up to five years in prison.
The case of Liv Morgan’s alleged stalker is disturbing and shows how dangerous obsessive fans can become. Since Chan is asking to be released before his trial, there are concerns about whether the court will agree, given how serious his actions were and the possible threat to Morgan’s safety. So we’ll have to see what will happen in the end.
Do you think Shawn Chan should be released ahead of trial under supervised conditions, or should he remain behind bars until the case is resolved? Sound off in the comments.
