FULL TITLE: Former KISS songwriter busted on five counts of child pornography after authorities 'tracked images to his computer'
A South Carolina guitarist and former KISS songwriter was arrested and charged with child pornography on Friday.
Stephen A. Coronel, 63, of Bluffton, former member of Wicked Lester -- the rock and roll band that preceded KISS -- was arrested for 'sexual exploitation of a minor,' according to a Beaufort County arrest report.
Authorities say that Coronel was arrested with five counts of the sexual exploitation after a search of his Plantation Point apartment.
Sgt. Robin McIntosh of the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office told the Charlotte Observer that deputies seized evidence and a number of electronic devices from Coronel's home.
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. Tracked: Officials tracked pornographic images of children to Coronel's computer in Bluffton, South Carolina

Wasn’t KISS an acronym for knights in service to satan? My musical tastes were already entrenched by the time rock music got big so I know little about that group or others of a similar “style”. If I’m wrong, as an old fogey, I’ll take my lumps. Just passing along what one of the deacons at my church told me years ago.
I was never a KISS fan even when all my peers were.
That said, the name KISS is only attached to the story as a means of drawing readers in.

No, it wasn’t and isn’t. That is something some people made up and declared it to be true when there was all this hysteria about rock bands pledging their souls to satan.
Gene’s makeup and demon schtick was the source of that. People took the theatre of it literally and went off bug nuts. Same for the whole Dungeons and Dragons thing. It was just another a way for Televangelist types to fleece the flock and build their powerbase.
Kiss was never sataninc. They were a rock band and nothing more.
No
It was evangelism gone mad and very creative people looking for the boogey man and satan everywhere.
The church we went to burned their records, cassettes and 8 tracks.
I didn’t participate because I never got into buying albums and such.
They were just an awesome band.
Thanks, Norm and all the others, for clearing it up. As they say, this whole rock thing is out of my wheelhouse. Ask me about Roy Acuff, Kitty Wells or The Happy Goodman Family and I'll talk your ear off for hours!
Some of the most “satanic” bands out there have some of the firmest Christians in them.
Dave Mustaine of Megadeth was asked why he doesn’t do Christian rock. He said he doesn’t much care for Christian rock and prefers Christian actions to Christian words. Among his actions is his refusal to tour with openly anti Christian and satanic bands.
I sure wish I knew that then. I was a little kid when I heard all of the stories about them and they totally freaked me out. I always had fears that their grinning faces might come out of my closet at nighttime.
I never got how so many people thought Megedeth were satanic back in the day. Metallica either.
Telephone game I guess. One says something and the last in line (DIO! ;) hears something different.
The power of propaganda.
Well, it just means you have lots of cool ‘old’ music to listen to as if it were new for the first time ;)
“She’s’ been around, but she’s young and clean
I’ve got to have her, can’t live without her, whoo no
Christine sixteen, Christine sixteen”
“Christine, Christine, sixteen, sixteen
Christine, yeah, yeah”
He says he joined the Church of Satan for the orgies.
Led Zeppelin were into the occult.
Domino ;)
Ozzie Osbourne says of the old days. It wasn’t satanic, it was getting paid for being a big kid and dressing up for Halloween year round.
And trout ;)
KISS an acronym for...
EVERY time KISS comes up here this garbage is thrown out. Reminds me of the NAZI (and minitrue) propaganda philosophy of if you tell a lie loudly enough, often enough and with enough conviction....
Ozzy doing “After Forever” pretty much convinced me that Black Sabbath were not satanists.
