FORMER GLEE ACTOR Mark Salling has pleaded guilty to possession of images of child sexual abuse.
Salling entered the plea in a downtown Los Angeles federal court yesterday and is scheduled to be sentenced on 7 March.
The actor reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in October in which he admitted he possessed images of prepubescent children. The agreement states that a search warrant found more than 50,000 images of images of child sexual abuse on Salling’s computer and USB drive.
Prosecutors and Salling have agreed to ask a judge to sentence the actor to between four to seven years in prison. He will also be required to register as a sex offender, pay restitution and abide by residency restrictions.
The actor played Noah “Puck” Puckerman on the Fox musical comedy Glee from 2009-2015.
