According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Kenny Wynn became a target in the investigation when his name was discovered on a website that functioned like a cyber trading post for child porn content.
No charges have yet been filed, according to reports, but a search warrant was issued this week and task force agents have searched Kenny Wynn's Nevada home and seized all computer equipment.
Police are currently scanning the contents of Wynn's hard drive for any implicating material or connections to the child porn website, sources say.

The child pornography investigation is part of a larger sting operation being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) called Operation Predator, which began in July 2003 and has so far resulted in 1,700 arrests.
According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, the search warrant for Wynn's home was sealed. Brother Steve Wynn has not been available for comment.
