LATEST ON TRIAL FOR ALLEGED LIV MORGAN STALKER SHAWN CHAN

Shawn Chan, the alleged Liv Morgan stalker who traveled from Canada to her home in Florida before being arrested at the WWE Performance Center last year will stand trial this Monday 6/15 before the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division at 9 AM.  The trial was originally slated for March before being pushed back several times.   

The trial listed in court records as a stipulated facts bench trial.  While this traditionally means no jury, there were still case filings this week indicating that a jury could be involved and would have the choices of determining Chan was guilty, not guilty or not guilty by reason of insanity.  It could be that until both sides sign off on the stipulated facts bench trial, which they have been ordered to do by the Judge, the case must move forward as if it will be a traditional jury trial.

Chan is 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."

A proposed instruction to the jury was filed today, noting, "The Defendant can be found guilty of this crime only if all the following facts are proved beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) the defendant traveled in interstate or foreign commerce; and (2) the defendant traveled in interstate or foreign commerce with the intent to harass or intimidate another person; and (3) in the course of, or as a result of such travel, the defendant engaged in conduct that places that person, L.M. in reasonable fear of the death of, or serious bodily injury to, or causes, attempts to cause, or would be reasonably expected to cause substantial emotional distress to that person, L.M."

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 before his trial. 

In recent months, Chan pushed to introduce an insanity defense.  Court documents filed today noted an exhibit list that would be introduced at trial that included a Stipulation of Facts, a Handwritten note authored by Chan, the results of a Neuropsychological Evaluation of Chan and a Forensic Psychological Report on Chan.
