Ten years ago kids loved his playhouse on Saturday mornings and now it appears Paul Reubens has another playhouse for kids. This time it's not so nice.

Police obtained a warrant and raided the comedian's home on November 16 and confiscated several boxes full of supposed evidence, even though the case is still under investigation. Paul's camp says this was a money-driven accusation. Regardless, tabloid newspaper The Enquirer plans to run a story next week claiming the police found videotapes, pornographic pictures and three computers containing "lewd" material. Enquirer editor David Perel claims he's seen 30 to 40 pictures of young boys performing sexual acts and will print that as well.

Paul was arrested in 1991 when he was caught masturbating in an X-rated movie theater but has kept under the radar since, even starting a movie comeback with roles in Blow and South of Heaven, West of Hell.
