Liv Morgan Stalker Undergoing Psychological Exam as Federal Trial Delayed Again

The federal criminal case involving the man accused of stalking WWE star Liv Morgan has taken another turn — and this time, it centers on a psychological examination.

Canadian national Shawn Chan, who is facing a federal charge of interstate domestic violence, was already set to have his trial pushed into the Court’s March session following a January 31 ruling by the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division. Now, a newly filed status report reveals why the case is effectively on pause.

According to the update, Chan is currently undergoing a “psychological examination.” As a result, his right to a speedy trial has been formally paused until that evaluation is completed.

The status report also outlines what to expect once the case proceeds. Federal prosecutors stated that when the case does go to trial, they anticipate needing three days to present their case against Chan. Meanwhile, Chan’s defense team has not yet informed the court how long they expect their presentation to take.

The psychological evaluation is especially significant because Chan has sought to pursue an insanity defense. Prosecutors have previously objected to that move, arguing that the request was raised too late and should be barred. The court has not yet ruled on whether that defense will ultimately be allowed.

Chan remains incarcerated after being arrested by the FBI in June 2025. He has been denied release while awaiting trial. If convicted on the federal charge, he faces up to five years in prison.

While the original allegations focus on Chan allegedly traveling from Ontario to Florida and spending hours on Morgan’s property in May 2025, the current legal battle has shifted heavily toward questions of mental responsibility. The outcome of the psychological examination could determine whether a jury ever hears an insanity argument — or whether the trial proceeds strictly on the facts of the alleged conduct.

With the speedy trial clock now paused and a psychological review underway, the case appears far from resolution.
