Shawn Chan, who was facing allegations of stalking WWE star Liv Morgan, has been found not guilty in the case.
The news was first reported by Brandon Thurston and John Pollock of POST Wrestling. The U.S. District Court in the Middle District of Florida held the trial on June 15. The court ruled that the defendant [Chan] was found not guilty by reason of insanity connected to a charge of interstate domestic violence, which carried a sentence of up to five years in prison. Chan has been detained for just over one year prior to the trial.
Chan waived his right to a jury trial, allowing Judge Mary S. Scriven to decide the case. Scriven determined that the U.S. Marshal Service would coordinate with ICE to release Chan, who is a Canadian citizen, into its custody. It is expected that Chan will remain in a detention centre until he is deported from the United States.
Chan travelled from Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, to Florida on May 31, 2025. Chan arrived at Morgan’s residence, where surveillance footage detected him searching for a key and trying to enter the home. Chan remained at Morgan’s home for over two hours, left a note saying he was paying a “friendly visit”, and left his contact information. Morgan was not in her house at this time.
Security footage showed Chan at one point picking up an air rifle pellet gun that was on Morgan’s front porch and attempting to open the front door while holding it. In the days that followed, Chan appeared at the WWE Performance Center, where Morgan was also present for an NXT taping. Security recognised Chan and he was detained by the police.
Liv Morgan Stalker Told Psychologists WWE Star Was His “Significant Other”
After evaluating Chan, two separate psychologists determined that the defendant was unable to appreciate the wrongfulness of his actions due to a mental disease. It was also discovered that Chan had ot been treated for these illnesses in the past, not had he seen a doctor in 20 years.
POST Wrestling also included a copy of the evaluation. According to the filing, Chan believed that certain wrestlers owed him money in relation to ideas he had allegedly developed. Chan also had the belief that Morga was his significant other:
Mr. Chan described a longstanding belief system involving professional wrestling figures and entertainment industry executives. He reported that beginning in adolescence, he developed ideas for characters and storylines that were later adopted by professional wrestlers. He stated that he believed certain wrestlers he encountered online were connected to him through this intellectual property and that he was owed recognition and financial compensation.
Mr. Chan reported that he believed a well-known professional wrestler was his significant other. He described traveling to Florida with the intention of contacting senior figures in professional wrestling through her and believed that visiting her residence was appropriate and justified. He stated that he left a letter at the front door of her home, slept on the porch, and attempted to enter the residence after hearing noises, believing he was checking on her safety. Mr. Chan endorsed beliefs involving a global conspiracy related to weapons and terrorism and described prominent entertainment figures as participating in efforts to combat this conspiracy. These beliefs were described as factual and accurate by Mr. Chan at the time of the offense.
Chan is facing up to 5 years in prison.
