The legal situation surrounding Liv Morgans alleged stalker, Shawn Chan, is far more serious than it first appearedand now, a retired detective is breaking down exactly how a Florida burglary case turned into a full-blown federal stalking indictment.
During an episode of Going Ringside, host Scott Johnson asked retired detective Tom Hackney to explain how Chans charges were upgraded after his disturbing attempt to break into Morgans Florida home. Johnson pointed out that Chans initial charge sounded relatively minor.
Hackney wasted no time explaining that even at the state level, burglary is no jokebut the federal stalking charge takes things to an entirely different level.
Hackney then explained how the FBI stepped in, using federal stalking laws because of how Chan crossed international and state lines to target Morgan.
The biggest factor? Fear. Hackney made it clear that both state and federal stalking laws revolve around whether the victim was placed in legitimate fearand in Morgans case, the answer was obvious.
Chan, a Canadian citizen, is now facing federal interstate stalking charges after traveling from Canada to Florida, attempting to access Morgans home, and leaving behind a disturbing handwritten note full of paranoia and resentment.
The federal charge carries far heavier penalties than the original state-level burglary charge and reflects how seriously authorities are taking the situation.
This whole situation just shows how quickly a so-called friendly visit can turn into something dangerousand how the legal system isnt playing around when it comes to protecting public figures. With federal charges now hanging over his head, Shawn Chans creepy obsession with Liv Morgan could land him behind bars for a long time.
