Gene Simmons' Home Raided In Child Porn Inquiry, Rocker Not Involved

Gene Simmmons' Home Raided

A search warrant was served at the LOS ANGELES home of KISS bassist GENE SIMMONS in an ongoing investigation of child pornography, but authorities insist the rocker and his family are not considered suspects in the case, according to CNN.COM.

The local division that handles online crimes against children executed the warrant THURSDAY, according to LAPD Lt. JOHN JENAL, who added the SIMMONS family "were extremely cooperative."

The rocker's publicist said the police visit was connected with a crime that may have occurred on the property last year while SIMMONS was on tour with KISS.

Authorities requested SIMMONS and his family not to discuss the case to avoid undermining the investigation.

SIMMONS, his wife SHANNON and daughter SOPHIE have all thanked fans for their support via TWITTER.

Wrote SHANNON: “Thanks for your support. We couldn’t be more horrified that someone used our residence for such heinous crimes. Law enforcement is on it.”
