KFIX Rock News: Gene Simmons Of KISS Investigated By Police; Search Warrant Served At Home

kissinLos Angeles police say a task force investigating Internet crimes against children served a search warrant at the Benedict Canyon, CA home of Gene Simmons Thursday.

The KISS rocker and his family were at the home at the time and were cooperative, and are not suspected in the case, police told KABC-TV.

Police haven’t released any other information about the investigation.

However, the Simmons family released a statement that declared the warrant was related to “a crime that may have occurred on their property last year while Mr. Simmons was away on tour with KISS.”

“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. At this time, the police have requested that Mr. Simmons and his family not discuss the investigation publicly so as not to compromise it.”

Simmons’ wife, Shannon Tweed Simmons, later tweeted, “Thanks for your support. We couldn’t be more horrified that someone used our residence for such heinous crimes. Law enforcement is on it.”

Gene Simmons himself as of Friday morning had no public comment, but tweeted a number of links to media coverage of the search that emphasized he and his family aren’t suspects.
