Gene Simmons’ Wife, Daughter Respond To Police Search Of Los Angeles Home; Family Not Considered Suspects

Kiss bassist and co-lead singer Gene Simmons’ home was raided Thursday morning by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The rock star and his family are not suspects; however, police received a warrant to search their home.

According to CBS Los Angeles, a representative for Simmons, 65, confirmed that police came to the home to look into a “crime that may have occurred on their property last year while Simmons was away on tour with Kiss.” A source revealed to TMZ that police suspect someone of either downloading child porn onto a computer belonging to a member of the house, or “using their Internet access” to do so. Simmons’ rep reiterated that no one in the family is considered a person of interest, and that they are all “cooperating fully with the investigation.”

Simmons’ wife, Shannon Tweed, 58, took to Twitter Thursday evening to comment on the reports. Their son, Nick, 26, retweeted the post.

Thanks for your support. We couldn't be more horrified that someone used our residence for such heinous crimes. Law enforcement is on it.
