The criminal case involving the man accused of stalking Liv Morgan is heading back to court this week after months of delays.
A hearing is scheduled for Thursday morning at 10:30 AM in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida in Tampa regarding the federal case against Shawn Chan, the Canadian man accused of traveling to Florida and targeting the WWE star before later being arrested at the WWE Performance Center.
The case has already faced several postponements after originally being expected to go to trial in March. Most recently, another delay came after Chan was assigned a new public defender. The trial is now tentatively expected to begin sometime in June.
Federal prosecutors allege Chan traveled from Scarborough, Ontario to Orlando, Florida in May 2025 before making his way to Morgan’s residence. Authorities claim he spent hours outside the property, circled the home multiple times, entered through the backyard, and attempted to gain access through the front door before eventually leaving the area.
Investigators also allege Chan left behind a handwritten note containing personal information and messages directed toward Morgan while claiming he was only making a “friendly visit.”
The situation escalated after WWE security allegedly reviewed surveillance footage from Morgan’s home and recognized Chan at the WWE Performance Center. The FBI later arrested him on June 3, 2025 before he was formally indicted later that month.
If convicted, Chan faces up to five years in prison. Chan has remained in custody since his arrest after multiple unsuccessful attempts to secure release ahead of trial. In recent months, his legal team also attempted to pursue an insanity defense, though prosecutors argued the request came too late in the legal process.
Thursday’s hearing is expected to provide additional clarity regarding when the long-delayed trial will officially move forward as the high-profile case continues developing.
