Gene Simmons’ Home Searched In Child Porn Raid; Rocker And His Family Are Not Suspects

Gene Simmons’ home was searched by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force on Thursday on a warrant. Though the KISS rocker’s home was the location of the raid, he and his family are not suspects in the case.

Gene Simmons’ Home Searched

The LAPD task force searched Simmons’ Benedict Canyon area home Thursday at 8 a.m. local time, Sgt. Mike Lopez told Entertainment Tonight. “The Simmons family was extremely cooperative and no members of the Simmons family are suspected in the case,” Sgt. Lopez said.

The police were looking for evidence of child pornography, reported TMZ. A publicist for the KISS frontman said that the alleged crime likely occurred on Simmons’ property while he was on tour with KISS last year.

“Neither Mr. Simmons nor any member of his family is a person of interest in the investigation and they are cooperating fully with the investigation,” Simmons’ publicist said in a statement. “At this time, the police have requested that Mr. Simmons and his family not discuss the investigation publicly so as not to compromise it.”

After the search warrant made headlines, Simmons’ wife Shannon Tweed took to Twitter to address the incident.

“We couldn’t be more horrified that someone used our residence for such heinous crimes,” she wrote Friday. “Law enforcement is on it.”
