Chris Chan's Lawyer Says 'Mental Health Issues' Contributed to Incest Charge
newsweek ^ | aug. 9, 2021 | jack Beresford

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.

Honestly he’s been mental for a long time he just did not get treatment. It’s sad it ended like this.

I couldn’t figure out what or who the article was talking about.

So I quickly moved on.

This guy has been messed up and socially awkward for years. I felt sorry for him until he raped his mother. That kind of destroys any sympathy.

So if I “learn” on the internet that she’s innocent, I should not believe it. That’s what he meant, right?

= = =

Just like when MSM streams it’s ‘news’.

Except for MSM, it is NEVER true.

Is this the freak that raped his 90 year old mother who has alzheimers?


Yep. And apparently the target of a female troll who had been trying to get him to do it for some time so she could blackmail him and get him to kill himself. Apparently there is audio and one-side video of some of their conversations. At least that’s what is going around.

Don't care.

He raped his mother. His disabled mother. And bragged about it.

Hang him.
