As you may or may not have heard, back in May 2019, former Manowar guitarist Karl Logan was jailed on child pornography charges in Charlotte, North Carolina. Well now it seems that LOGAN has had his day in court, pleading guilty to two child pornography counts and now facing sentencing for his crimes.
According to the Charlotte Observer, the guitarist faces at least 25 years in prison after admitting that he had downloaded and kept child pornography on his computer. But it goes back even further with a 2018 arrest on six counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. He was fired from Manowar pretty much immediately after that little fiasco.
Logan made his first court appearance in May 2019, being booked into jail, but was released two days later while awaiting his next hearing.
Logan joined Manowar in 1994, replacing David Shankle, who had been with the band since 1989. Logan’s recording debut with the band came in 1996 with the release of Louder Than Hell, and he’s been on every album since, totaling four studio efforts, not including two albums re-recorded prior to his tenure.
Manowar have continued to tour without Logan, with E.V. Martel handing the guitar work while on tour.
