$25k fine.
Meanwhile over in Tinseltown, (although no mugshot circulating as yet) the year-end round up concluded with Fox Television “Glee” star Mark Salling, 33, was arrested on charged on possessing child porn whereby, it was found that he had over 100 images of underage children.
Call it not balling as hard as the Bill, or the accusation of 54 and 1 actual rape of women carrying a higher bail price tag than 1000 innocent children being violate but Salling sailed having paid $20k bail.
With Glee taken off the air this year after six successful seasons, the Emmy winning actor who played mohawk wearing high school student bad boy “Puck” on the popular hit show found glee in something more sinister as, it he was busted on Tuesday, December 29, with images of pubescent kids as young as elementary and middle school stashed in his collection of hall of shame.
Armed with a search warrant, at approximately 7 a.m. a battering ram was used to gain entry to Salling’s dirty den after repeated knocks to the door went ignored.
Lt. Andrea Grossman of the LAPD Internet crimes against children task force stated: “I would imagine that would surprise anybody. There were more than 100 [disturbing] images [of children].”
As per TMZ via their law enforcement source, it was the actor’s girlfriend who pointed authorities to the pictures on his computer depicted girls as young as 10 years old engaging in various sexual activities.
Considering all that was found, arresting Salling right there at his domain was imminent. For further examination, other electronic devices were seized.
Reportedly, a confidential informant tipped authorities off and pointed investigators to Salling who lived in a rural neighborhood filled with kids and shocked adults.
Riding past on her horse, neighbor Robyn Phipps, 47, expressed “It’s so wrong. There are kids everywhere around here.”
In the past, Salling was charged with other unrelated charges of a sexual nature when ordered to pay $2.7 million dollars to former girlfriend Roxanne Gorzela after being accused in a sexual battery suit.
His court date for these child pornography charges is set for Jan. 22, 2016.
If charges turn out to be proven true in the court of law, Salling will be cut from the current project he’s working on (ironically called) “Gods and Secrets.”
