Yesterday Glee star, Mark Salling, was arrested for possession of child pornography involving minors engaging in or simulating sexual conduct. What police found was nothing short of disgusting.
According to reports, authorities were tipped off by an ex-girlfriend of Salling’s. They obtained a search warrant and found several explicit photographs on Salling’s computer of children, some no older than 10 years old, involved in sexual acts.
LAPD’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force seized over a thousand images from Salling’s desktop computer and haven’t even gotten to his cell phone, laptop and tablet yet. According to the law, if there are more than 600 images, the maximum punishment is 5 years in prison.
Mark Salling’s bail was set at $20,000. His family paid 10% ($2,000) and Salling was released shortly after his arrest.
Even though Salling is free, chances are his career is ruined. After Glee wrapped, Salling was set to appear in a film called “Adi Shankar’s Gods and Secrets.” Due to his current legal troubles, however, producers are highly considering cutting him and recasting the role.
