An arrest report on the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office website, Manowar guitarist Karl Logan was arrested in August and charged with possessing child pornography. The 53 year old guitarist was arrested on August 9 in North Carolina and charged with six counts of third-degree exploitation of a minor.
The Blast reports a spokesperson for the Mecklenburg County Sheriffs Office told them a warrant was issued back in August for his arrest and he was booked into the local jail. Logan’s bail was set at $35,000 and he has since bonded out.

The law states these charges refer to when “a person commits the offense of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor if, knowing the character or content of the material, he possesses material that contains a visual representation of a minor engaging in sexual activity.”
Logan joined Manowar in 1994 replacing David Shankle. The group are currently on their The Final Battle farewell tour. Listen to their classic track “Die For Metal” below.
