Earlier this month, news broke that a man was arrested outside the WWE Performance for allegedly previously stalking superstar Liv Morgan. Now, the accused is facing up to five years in prison for his actions.
The Independent reports that 41-year old Shawn Chan of Scarborough, Ontario, Canada (a suburb of Toronto) is facing federal stalking charges. According to the report, Chan apparently flew from Toronto to Orlando on May 26 (the very same day his passport was issued), telling border and customs officials that he would be staying at the WWE Performance Center. A few days later, Chan visited Morgan's private residence, two hours away from Orlando. When security footage was reviewed, it showed Chan entering the front porch area from the yard (instead of the driveway) and looking around possibly for a spare key. He was also seen touching around the bottom of the front door, swiping the locking mechanism on the front door several times with his hand, grabbing the front door handle and leaning into the door in an attempt to open it.
When all that failed, Chan picked up a long air rifle pellet gun that had been left outside in the porch area. Chan was seen sitting on the front porch with the pellet gun before standing and walking to the front door. The report indicates that he loitered around Morgan's residence for close to two hours waiting for her before writing a note for the wrestler that indicated that he paid her a "friendly visit, nothing more", referenced being "wronged by members of an online gaming community" and noted that he wanted her to know that "I was here", leaving behind his home address and personal phone number.
On June 3, Chan then showed up at the WWE Performance Center but security recognized him from the surveillance video and alerted police. He was then arrested.
Morgan later told police that she was out of town on that day, does not know Chan but is concerned her home address has become public with the report stating:
"She expressed concern that her home address was known to the public and that two other individuals had shown up to her residence without invitation or notice. The victim explained she does not bring fan mail into the house because of the number of concerning messages she receives."
Chan was indicted earlier this week, is presently detained in the Pasco County Detention Center, and is set to appear in Orlando federal court on July 18 for arraignment on one count of interstate domestic violence. If convicted, he could spend five years behind bars.
