The home of KISS’s Gene Simmons’ was raided Thursday morning by authorities as part of a child pornography investigation. The rocker and his family are not suspects in the case.
Via TMZ:
The LAPD’s Internet Crime Against Children Task Force executed a search warrant at 8 AM, and we’re told cops seized computers and other evidence.
Law enforcement sources tell us, someone downloaded child porn either on one of their computers or using their Internet access. We’re told neither Simmons nor anyone in his family are considered suspects or persons of interest. Gene was away on tour when the downloads occurred.
“No members of the Simmons family are suspects in the case and were extremely cooperative,” Lt. John Jenal of the Los Angeles Police Department told KTLA.
Gene’s wife Shannon Tweed tweeted, thanking fans for their support:
Thanks for your support. We couldn't be more horrified that someone used our residence for such heinous crimes. Law enforcement is on it.
