Florida-based wrestling trainer Chasyn Rance was arrested on Wednesday for violating the terms of registration as a sex offender.
Rance, 42, is designated as a sexual offender in the state and listed on the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s directory.
In July 2011, Rance was found guilty of lewd or lascivious battery; sex with a victim between the ages of 12 – 15. In 2013, Rance petitioned to have his probationary status removed and was approved.
David Bixenspan reported that Rance was arrested on Wednesday for violating his terms of registering as a sex offender with multiple charges of providing false registration, failure to report a change in vehicle ownership, and two charges of failing to report “Internet ID web page or app name”.

WWE commentator Booker T. was recently linked to the gym where he appeared as a guest trainer, and a group photo featuring Booker and Rance was posted.
After the news of Rance’s arrest, Booker issued the following statement Wednesday evening:
I’ve been a guest trainer at hundreds of wrestling schools over the years, helping to teach and mentor up-and-coming talent. I don’t conduct background checks on every trainer or individual I’ve crossed paths with or taken photos with along the way. This feels like a clear attempt to falsely associate me with something I have 100% nothing to do with and absolutely no knowledge of! Any student who’s trained with me can vouch for the kind of coach, mentor, and person I am. My record speaks for itself.
Rance has been wrestling since 1999 and is a trainer and wrestler for Team Vision Dojo and Pro Wrestling Vision.
