Local Restaurant Owner Accused of Sharing Sensitive Images Without Consent
The owner of the popular Avondale eatery Warlord, Trevor B. Fleming, has been charged with a felony after being accused of sharing intimate images without his ex-girlfriend's consent. The incident marks the second time in about a year that Fleming has been served with an order of protection from a former female coworker.
According to court records, Fleming allegedly shared private sexual images of his ex-girlfriend without her knowledge or permission in September 2023. The images "clearly show" her face and private areas during a sexual act. His accuser expressed fear and anxiety after learning that he had taken the photos, stating she felt "terrified" and wondered what was happening.
The incident is not Fleming's first time being accused of non-consensual behavior. In early 2025, another female coworker filed an order of protection against him, alleging verbal and emotional abuse during their on-again, off-again relationship. This order remains in effect until March 11, 2027.
Fleming was released on electronic monitoring after being arrested in January 2024. He is scheduled to appear in court again on Wednesday. The case has sparked concerns for the safety of his accusers, and Warlord's reputation as a reputable restaurant has been called into question.
The incident highlights the need for greater awareness about workplace harassment and non-consensual behavior. It also raises questions about how organizations can ensure their employees feel safe and supported in the workplace.
Warlord, which opened in 2023, has gained widespread attention and accolades from food critics and publications. However, this latest development may put a damper on the restaurant's reputation, leaving customers wondering if the owner's actions align with his business practices.
Fleming's lawyers have not commented publicly on the charges, but the accusers' stories paint a disturbing picture of a toxic relationship that spanned both personal and professional boundaries. As the case continues to unfold, it will be crucial for authorities and the public to prioritize transparency and accountability in addressing such incidents.
