In December 2015, Salling was first arrested for possessing child pornography after his residence was searched by the Los Angeles Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
He was indicted on two counts of child pornography, and charged with receiving and possessing child porn on his laptop and a USB flash drive in May 2016. The items obtained from his home reportedly held thousands of images and videos depicting child porn. After the case was referred to federal authorities, he pleaded not guilty in June 2016.
Salling was known for starring on Fox's hit show "Glee" from 2009 to 2015 as Noah "Puck" Puckerman. His other credits include the 2014 TV movie "Rocky Road" and a guest role on "Walker, Texas Ranger" in 1999.
He was dropped from the film "Gods and Secrets" after his child porn indictment.
