Here’s the KISS songwriter that was arrested for child pornography last year.
Yesterday, Gene Simmons’ home was raided for child pornography. A LAPD task force targeting internet crimes against children reportedly searched Kiss singer Gene Simmons’ home last night. Neither Simmons nor his family are suspects in the investigation and all were said to be “very cooperative.”
It is important to point out that Gene Simmons is not a suspect in the investigation, however, it begs the question why was the rock star’s home searched for pornography?
Last September, former KISS songwriter was busted on five counts of child pornography after authorities “tracked images to his computer”.
The investigation reportedly began when the U.S. Department of Justice’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force determined that child pornography had been uploaded from a Bluffton home.
The material was tracked to Coronel’s computer. []
Stephen Coronel, 63, played alongside Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley in “Wicked Lester” the group before KISS. Coronel co-wrote songs that appeared on early KISS albums. Coronel was arrested with five counts of “sexual exploitation of a minor”. Authorities tracked pornographic images of children to Coronel’s home.
