Former Glee actor pleads guilty to possession of child pornography
Former Glee actor, Mark Salling, pleaded guilty to the possession of child pornography in a Los Angeles court, yesterday afternoon.
The 35-year-old now faces between four and seven years in prison and has been ordered to pay $50,000 to each victim.
He must also register as a sex offender, and will be supervised for 20 years upon his release.
The actor was first arrested for the possession of child pornography in December 2015, after investigators found thousands of images on his laptop and hard drive during a search at his LA home.
It's understood Salling pleaded guilty to “one felony count of possession of child pornography involving a prepubescent minor.”
In 2016, Mark's ex-girlfriend and Glee co-star, Naya Rivera, admitted the charges against him didn't come as a huge surprise.
"He was always just a very dark soul to me," she told Entertainment Tonight.
"I always felt like there was something that he was wrestling with."
The actor played bad-boy Noah “Puck” Puckerman on the successful Fox musical series Glee, from 2009 to 2015.
