YouTuber Chris Chan's arrest footage surfaces after shocking incest allegations were revealed by a leaked phone call

Bodycam footage of the moment YouTube personality Chris Chan was arrested on an incest charge has surfaced - three years after her arrest and a year after the case was dropped.

Chan, a 42-year-old transgender vlogger well known for her webcomic series who goes by the name Christine Weston Chandler, faced 10 years in prison when she was arrested at her home in Virginia in August 2021 accused of having an incestuous relationship with her 82-year-old mother, Barbara. 

The case was dismissed by a judge two years later in August 2023, after Chandler's attorneys filed a motion that suggested she had an autism disorder.

In the full video released on Sunday, which has been viewed on X 2.1million times, police told Chandler they had a warrant for her arrest and put her in handcuffs.

'Do not fight or you will get tasered,' one officer said.

Chandler complied, but warned officers her 'husband' was present 'right on the opposite side of the universe-veil... punching [officers] to let you know' he was there.

'If any of y'all has been feeling a punch-like sensation on your leg, that is my husband,' she said. 

She asked one of the officers if he felt the punch, but he told her he did not.

'Is there anyone else in the room with you?' he asked.

Chandler said: 'Interdimensionally. You can't tangibly see them.'

The officer asked Chandler to clarify whether a 'physical person' was in the room, to which she said: 'From this universe? No.'

As the arrest dragged on, a small crowd of onlookers gathered out the front.

Chandler warned officers that the men were likely 'trolls... from the internet'.

Chandler told officers she 'identifies as female and would appreciate if she was respected as such'

Initially, police seemed to think it was unlikely Chandler's suspicions were correct, but when the men began heckling and told her she was 'live to about 3,000 people' as she was taken to the police car, they realized her warnings were in good faith.

'I'm famous on the internet,' she repeatedly told the arresting officers - who at one point jeered in disbelief.

Chandler also told officers, while she had her hands behind her back, that she 'identifies as female and would appreciate if she was respected as such'. 

'It even says so on my driver's license. Female. Just making sure.' 

Chandler spent months in prison prior to the charge of incest being dropped. 

Prior to that, she lived alone with her 79-year-old mother, Barbara, in Ruckersville, Virginia, for many years. 

Chandler's arrest came just days after a phone call was leaked on an instant messaging platform, on which a person believed to be Chandler seemingly admitted to having sex with her elderly mother, who is believed to have dementia.

During the eight-minute conversation, Chandler apparently tells a friend that it was her mother, Barbara, who 'made the first move,' leading the two to kiss, according to the audio file, which Newsweek reported.

Chandler allegedly claimed she approached the situation with 'care and caution' after years of harboring sexual feelings toward her mother, and even having dreams of having sex with her.

'She was partially confused at one point, but then she came around, obviously,' Chandler is allegedly heard saying on the call.

As the call continues, the person said to be Chandler says that she and her mother now have a 'routine' where they have sex 'every third night', and that her mother enjoys it.

Toward the end of the recording, Chandler apparently tells her friend: 'God... said this was okay.'

The authenticity of the call was never publicly verified.
