Tucker Quizzed Over Child Porn Allegations
14 April 2009
The British star's $3 million (£2 million) home on the Spanish island of Ibiza was raided and computers seized following a tip-off from Scotland Yard in London, according to U.K. newspaper The Sun.
It is alleged the 40-year-old's credit card may have been used to view a Russian website featuring indecent images of children.
A friend of Tucker - who was not arrested - tells the publication, "He is distraught and insists it was a terrible mistake. It is a terrible time. Paul maintains he was mystified as to how his card details were used and believes he is the victim of a fraud.
"He has given the Spanish police the names of people who had access to his credit cards. He is hopeful he will be completely vindicated. But it is a terrible time.
Keyboard player Tucker formed Lighthouse Family in the 1990s with vocalist Tunde Baiyewu. The group has since gone on to sell more than 15 million albums worldwide.
