Trans woman arrested for ‘sex with her dementia-suffering elderly mother’
A transgender woman has been arrested for incest after alleged having sex with her elderly mother, 79, who suffers with dementia.
Vlogger Christine Chandler, known online as Chris Chan, was taken into custody in Richmond, Virginia, on Sunday, after audio was leaked online of her allegedly confessing to regular sex with her mom.
In a post on Facebook the Greene County Sheriff’s Office said that Chandler has been charged with one count of incest.
Her arrest came one day after the sheriff’s office said they ‘received information involving sex crimes against a family member’.
‘This is an ongoing investigation with additional charges pending’, said the sheriff’s office, reports the New York Post.
Chandler, 39, faces up to 12 years in prison if convicted of the single count of incest.
A taped phone call of hers was leaked and allegedly involved Chandler confessing to having sex with her mother, according to Insider. The suspect has repeatedly featured her mom in online videos – who she has previously revealed suffers from dementia.
In the recorded call, a person who police believe is Chandler, said that her mom ‘made the first move’, admitting she was ‘partially confused’ and ‘it took a few tries’ to get right, the reports said.
They would go on to have sex ‘every third night’ – but had an ‘open relationship’, cops claim.
The audio suggested Chandler admitted it happened when she was ‘very, very horny’ and said that ‘God said it was OK’.
Chandler appeared to be aware of her impending arrest in her last Twitter post on Friday.
‘Today’s Collective Card, appropriately, is Turning In,’ she wrote, featuring an image from Collective, a community-created card game.
Chandler has featured her mother on her social media pages several times over the years, most recently on July 11, when she shared photos of her sporting a new haircut.
‘Barbie Chan got a styling haircut. I did that, first time cutting anyone’s hair. It looks really good,’ she wrote.
In May, Chandler shared a series of photos of her mother as a younger woman as part of a tribute.
She said, ‘Hi, mom. Remember, everyone, regardless of situation, your mom, mother, or motherly figure had a life and past of her own back in the day before you came along.
‘She has gone through a lot for not only you and yours, but herself as well.’
Following her arrest Chandler was transferred to the Central Virginia Regional Jail where she is being held without bail.
