Regarding Karl Logan
With regard to Karl Logan’s arrest and the charges against him:
Due to the fact that Karl and his attorneys are dealing with these issues, he will not perform with MANOWAR.
The new album and upcoming tour will not be affected.
Logan was arrested in Charlotte, North Carolina on August 9 and has since been bailed out. Under N.C. General Statute §14-190.17A, "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."
