Trigger Warning: Rape, Assault

Officially named Christine Weston Chandler, the infamous internet personality (known as the "most documented person in history") was arrested in Richmond, Virginia. Photos showed Chan being handcuffed at the Regency Inn, where Chan was staying due to an Emergency Protection Order issued by Ruckersville police. 

The police conducted a welfare check on Chan's home on July 30 following the leak of some concerning text messages between Chan and a friend. According to the conversation, Chan had been raping their own mother, an 80-year-old with dementia. 

The text messages, along with the audio recording that was leaked along with it, disturbed the internet. While Chan had been notorious for slowly deteriorating and behaving strangely over the years, this was too far for most people that had been following the saga. The text messages included claims of performing oral sex on Barb against her will and the ailing mother telling Chan "stop." 

The results of the assessment police conducted on Barbara have not been publicly revealed. But Barbara was moved from the home and into a hospital. Meanwhile, Chan was given a temporary EPO which wouldn't allow them to enter the home until August 5. 

The reason for the arrest has also not been publicly shared but it comes right after the chat log leaks. Incest, elder abuse, and rape are all crimes in Virginia. Chan also allegedly stole $750 from Barbara's bank account, which may be a violation of the EPO. 

Multiple sources were outside the hotel Chan was staying at, waiting to get footage of Chan's now-infamous arrest. Chan appeared eerily calm in the video. 

Many people are hoping this is the end of Chan's unfortunate and disturbing saga, which has been well-documented all over the internet for over a decade.
