Karl Warner

The sentencing hearing for body modification artist Karl Warner has been adjourned until November 26th.

Last month, Karl Warner was convicted of seven counts of the sexual offence committed with a 14-year-old girl.

The acts occurred over a three-month period from February to May 2021.

He then took advantage of the teenager twice on March 1, then again on April 1 followed by another encounter on May 10 and three days later on May 13.

The child had gone to his place of business to inquire about a body piercing, which is one of the services he offers.

During the course of their friendship, the teenager would visit his business, sometimes in her school uniform.

The delay in sentencing is due to Warner’s probation report not being ready in time for the original hearing. The case will now be taken up again on November 26.

    These men not learning to leave school girls alone. Even if these young ladies temp you by flirting, you are the adult to know that is jail you are playing with if you touch them.

    I’m still trying to understand why a 14 year old wants a body piercing.

    I’ve said this one too many times. Why is it that these men don’t leave these girls alone. Nobody in school uniform should be attracted to a man above his teens. Let these kids know they place with you. These men don’t deserve jail time anymore. Just hang them
