The lawyer representing Christine Weston Chandler, the YouTube star also known as Chris Chan online, says it is important "not believe everything they learn on the internet" about his client and her case.
Chandler was arrested on Sunday, August 1 and charged with one count of incest after the Green County Sheriff's Office received information about alleged "sex crimes against a family member, who resides in the Ruckersville area."
In a statement issued to Newsweek, Chandler's attorney, David L Heilberg said much of the information being put out online in relation to the case needed to be "filtered by skepticism" especially as his client is "legally disabled with mental health issues."
"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," Heilberg said.
"Like almost anything on the internet, it is difficult to determine what is true. These principles hold no matter if you are a supporter, a legitimate journalist, or a trolling hater."
Heilberg also indicated that online trolls had been in touch with him and trying to get information about Chandler's case. He said "legitimate inquiries from journalists, supporters, and nuisance trollers will be handled the same way."
Chandler is currently being held at the Central Virginia regional jail without bond and is next due in court on September 16.

I’m not a doctor or anything but...
YA THINK?!
Doesn’t mean he wasn’t cognizant in what he was doing.
No way!
*sad trombone sound*
:)
Wait - the tranny, gender-fluid incestophile is MENTALLY ILL???
Can’t be! This guy is gonna get cancelled by the Left.
Is this the freak that raped his 90 year old mother who has alzheimers?
I don’t think that anyone would mistake Chris Chan for a sane person. In addition to being a mentally ill pervert, Chris Chan is also a highly suggestable moron. He’s a criminal AND a symptom of the sickness from which our culture suffers.
I’m not a hardcore follower of him but I’ve paid attention to him last two years. The man is a train wreck.
He’s autistic and the target of trolls like you would not believe. There was no one to keep him off the internet and keep him safe.
Lawyers must have an excuse book, several thousand pages.
He’s a grown man and did a fair amount of trolling on his own.
I blame Sega for turning Sonic’s arms blue
yes. He is.
Pdo Joe can use this same defense. I mean, that guy’s mental competence is really in tatters, and it was never anything to brag about to begin with.
I, of course, don’t pay attention to mentally sick perverts like this. But I have to wonder if he just CLAIMED to do this just to get attention.
Either way - keep him locked up and away from normal people.
he’s mentally ill and should be locked up away from normal people.
True True but most of his trolling was done offline. Usually at the local mall, MacDonalds or Game Stop.
i’ve never heard of him until he raped his mom and made the news. There are FR’s that know of him and follow this dirtbag.
This is the tranny who molested a family member.
We observing a full-on civilizational collapse in real time.
Ok, I am kind of confused here. If it a mental health issue to have incest urges, why is not a mental health issue to have urges for little kids or for the same sex?
Where is the line? As a people, we used to have a line that was drawn around male and female, monogamous and consenting adults and that was considered normal. But then the left moved that line and now I am not sure where the line is currently located.
It seems to me that we are kind of far down the slippery slope.
