Search & Seize! Cops Reveal They Raided Lisa Marie's Ex For 'Disturbing Photos'
Feb. 17 2017, Updated 10:13 p.m. ET
Authorities in two states confirmed to RadarOnline.com that they have been investigating Lisa Marie Presley's ex-husband for nearly a year over claims he had computers packed with "disturbing" and "inappropriate" photos of children.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Presley's eight-year-old twin daughters have been placed in the care of California's Department of Children and Family Services, after the singer discovered "disturbing photos and videos of children" on their father's computer.
In an official press release from the Beverly Hills P.D., officers acknowledged they are on the case, and have taken several items from Michael Lockwood's home.
"In June 2016, the Beverly Hills Police Department was notified of alleged child abuse involving the Presley family," the release states. "It was then quickly determined the allegations stemmed from activity originating in the state of Tennessee."
Officials in Tennessee immediately began their own investigation, exclusively telling RadarOnline.com they are trying to find out what, if anything, happened in their state.
"At this point, in this matter, we've yet to determine that to be the case. The work, however, to review potential evidence that might suggest otherwise continues," they said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Beverly Hills cops have already raided Lockwood.
"The Beverly Hills Police Department served a search warrant at a residence in the city of Beverly Hills that led to the seizure of several items pursuant to the warrant," according to the release.
This is in line with what Presley, 49, has already claimed.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Elvis's only daughter claimed in court papers that cops found 80 of Lockwood's devices during the raid, though they haven't been fully analyzed at this time. https://radaronline.com/videos/lisa-marie-presley-divorce-child-porn-claims-michael-lockwood-denies/
"I was shocked, horrified, and sick to my stomach," Presley said in the papers. "I have no idea what else may be on those devices and fear that there are more and worse images and evidence in these un-analyzed devices."
Presley and Lockwood married in 2006, filing for divorce ten years later in June 2016, the same month cops were called out.
Lockwood, 55, has strongly fired back at his ex-wife, saying he is "disgusted" by Presley's decision to go public with her claims, and calling the allegations "unproven."
Presley has "great difficulty being honest. And she rarely, if ever, accepts personal responsibility for her own wrongdoing," Lockwood exclaimed in court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com.
The court documents go on to allege that Presley is trying to "destroy" Lockwood's reputation, especially with the two locked in a bitter custody dispute.
As for the twins, Finley and Harper Lockwood, will be looked after by social workers until a trial next month.
