Coronel, whom was a band member with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley in their pre-KISS band, Wicked Lester, and whose songs were later used by KISS, is currently calling South Carolina his home, and saw sheriffs seize a number of electronic devices they claim hold evidence to his involvement in the sexual exploitation of a minor.

Beyond that, details are scarce at this time as to the exact nature of the crime and Coronel's involvement. Coronel still holds his involvement with KISS as his major claim to fame, with The Daily Mail pointing out that he still refers to himself on Facebook as "KISS-Multi-Platinum Songwriter."
