Chris Chan and the progression of her case

In Virginia, engaging in s*xual relations with one's father or mother is a Class 5 felony and punishable by up to 10 years in prison. However, Chan was reportedly released on bail when put in front of a grand Jury on March 27.

As per Insider, in August 2016 Chan wrote in a Facebook post that she had "dreams of having s*x" with her mother but stated that she never acted on it.

Over the years, Chan's life was documented with leaked emails, private diary entries, and personal conversations being put up online. As per Insider, on July 30, 2021, a Kiwi Farms user leaked a recording of a telephonic conversation between themselves and Chan. During the conversation, Chan allegedly discussed having s*xual relations with her mother. She was then arrested on August 1, 2021, on one count of inc*st.

She was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and came out as transgender in August 2014. She then went on to change her name to Christine in 2016.

David Heilberg, Chan's attorney, said in a statement in 2021:

"Ms. Chandler's frequent and sometimes over-the-top presence on the internet is partly a product of mental health issues causing misguided attention seeking and often provocative engagement with others."

Chris Chan has reportedly been the subject of many controversies. In the past, the YouTuber wanted a girlfriend with specific qualities and had dubbed the search a "Love Quest." Some of the required qualities included - being single, 18 years old, neurotypical, and more.
