Nine stalking charges were laid against the 45-year-old on Wednesday after a protracted investigation by Gold Coast detectives.
"During the investigation detectives spoke with multiple women about the information they had provided to police," police alleged, in a statment.
"It will be alleged between 1999 and 2014, the man stalked nine different women by sending them threatening, abusive and degrading text messages.
"It will be further alleged he would park his car and sit outside the victim’s homes."
Police accused Mr Shearin of using fake social media to scare his alleged victims.
He is set to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on Thursday.
