Before you get too bummed that another public figure is guilty of being a scumbag, don’t worry — Gene Simmons and his family are not thought to be suspects in this case. A search warrant was served at the KISS bassist’s Los Angeles home on Thursday, though neither Simmons nor police have revealed what may have happened as the investigation is said to be ongoing. Huh, that’s a bit weird.
From CNN:
The division that handles online crimes against children executed the warrant Thursday, according to Lt. John Jenal of the Los Angeles Police Department.
“No members of the Simmons family are suspects in the case and were extremely cooperative,” he said.
The rocker’s wife thanked fans for their support, and said the family is stunned.
“We couldn’t be more horrified that someone used our residence for such heinous crimes,” Shannon Tweed Simmons tweeted. “Law enforcement is on it.”
Yo, like, word of wisdom to celebrities: stop letting people use your house!!! I wish I would let random ass people stay in my house when I was away for months on end. Like, what? Especially when you’re rich/famous. When you’re not home, NO ONE should be IN your home. Lord almighty, how hard is it?
i mean — it is really easy for someone to mask their IP address using a random IP, and if that IP the person uses happens to be yours, you’d technically be the one guilty of the crime until it is proven someone else was using your IP address.
