A transgender YouTube star and comic creator who considers herself a 'goddess' had been embroiled in a series of controversies before being arrested over the weekend for allegedly raping her elderly mother.
Christine Weston Chandler, 39, who is better known online as 'Chris Chan,' has gained fame as the founder of the Sonichu and Rosechu web comic books that take place in her CWCville.
