TMZ is reporting that police raided Gene Simmons’ house to search for evidence of child porn, though the site was quick to note that neither the KISS frontman nor his family are implicated as suspects. The raid went down early in the morning on Thursday, and according to TMZ:

The LAPD’s Internet Crime Against Children Task Force executed a search warrant at 8 AM, and we’re told cops seized computers and other evidence. Law enforcement sources tell us, someone downloaded child porn either on one of their computers or using their Internet access. We’re told neither Simmons nor anyone in his family are considered suspects or persons of interest. Gene was away on tour when the downloads occurred.

More as it unfolds.
