MANOWAR’s guitarist Karl Logan has been booked into jail on child pornography charges. Logan, at the age of 54 years old, was arrested last August in Charlotte, North Carolina and was charged with six counts of third-degree exploitation of a minor.

Following the musician’s 2018 arrest, MANOWAR released a statement indicating the incident would not affect the group’s plans. “Due to the fact that Karl and his attorneys are dealing with these issues, he will not perform with MANOWAR,” the band said. “The new album and upcoming tour will not be affected.”

The guitarist joined MANOWAR in 1994, replacing David Shankle, who had been with the outfit since 1989.
