FORMER Lighthouse Family pop star Paul Tucker’s Ibiza villa has been raided by cops investigating child porn allegations.
The songwriter, 40 — who has sold 15 million albums worldwide — insists a fraudster used his credit card details to view a vile website.
A Scotland Yard tip-off led to Spanish cops seizing computers from Tucker’s £2million home in Ibiza Town, where he lives with his wife and two kids.
A credit card in Tucker’s name is alleged to have been used to access indecent images of children from the Russian-based website.
A dozen officers in marked police cars turned up at the house.
The keyboard genius, whose first album Ocean Drive sold six million copies in 1995, was quizzed for two hours at a police station.
A pal of Londoner Tucker, who was not arrested, said: “He is distraught that he has been caught up in the investigation and insists it was a terrible mistake.
"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.”
