On Friday, a federal grand jury indicted former “Glee” star Mark Salling on two counts of possessing child pornography, according to TMZ.

Salling was arrested for possession of child pornography in December 2015 after Crime Watch Daily reported that the Los Angeles Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Unit seized the actors laptop and found “hundreds” of images on it.

TMZ added that, in addition to the photos (which featured minors under the age of 12), there were also multiple videos.

This isn’t the 33-year-old’s first brush with the law, as he settled a $2.7 million lawsuit for a sexual battery incident involving his ex-girlfriend in 2015.

I don't know, a future documentary detailing all the crazy shit that was happening around the show might be a good watch.

Her in that killers video is just....phew

Anyways to hell with this guy.

 

[valkillmore]

How do they live inside their minds?

 

[Waddle Dee]

Under 12!?

I wish he'd rot in a cell. He'll probably get out in a couple months, though...

 

[AlphaDragoon]

Proof that something very good came out of that show. Dianna Agron is love.

Fuck Mark Salling though, that POS deserves everything he gets.

 

[clearacell]

I thought this was an old story but it seems like he's going to get his due. Him and Jared can share a cell.

 

[lightskintwin]

Under 12!?

He should be reasonably punished, but Rot in a cell for merely VIEWING such vile materials? C'mon now, that's way too harsh. Unless of course he taped the videos he had on his laptop. ..

Viewers create demand.

So yes. Let him rot in a cell.

Edit: I'm laughing my ass off at 'merely viewing'

 

[lightskintwin]

Viewing creates demand.

So yes. Let him rot in a cell.

We have no idea the source of these materials though, They could be old. I don't know, I've always felt we need to put more energy on the people who actually create these materials and distribute them.

 

[Jason Frost]

Is that the Pukerman dude?

 

[Kurdel]

"Under the age of 12."
Holy fuck, what a piece of shit.

Wasn't his defense that they were unsolicited from fans?

Not an excuse of course, any reasonable man would have found a way to block that shit out and erase it all.

 

[veryslowhand]

He is rich so he will get away with it

 

[E92 M3]

Hope he rots in a cell for the rest of his pathetic life. ZERO sympathy for people that exploit children.

Haha! Haaaaaaahhaaaaaaa!

When your own cast can't and won't back you up on that, your excuse is DOA.

Merely?


That's one helluvan understatement.

 

[ajim]

Always has been on gaf.

But this dude could get almost any girl if he wanted to and he decides to do this. I don't get it.

 

[2MF]

I wonder how hard it is to plant that shit on someone's computer. Terrifying to think that some people may be caught with that kind of stuff while being completely innocent.

 

[brawly]

There really is a defence force for everything on here.

 

[Jokab]

Are you suggesting this offense should be punished with a life sentence?

 

[Volimar]

See, I wish he were a bigger name, part of the big Hollywood ring everyone talks about. Get the guy to name some names and get the ball rolling.


People that make exceptions for viewers of child pornography are forgetting that these people are creating the market for these kids to be abused. They're not just looking, they're the demand for the industry.

Grant gustin tho

Also Melissa Benoist.

nope

put him under the jail

you must be new here

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

For some reason I thought this happened a while ago, but I guess I was confusing it for beating his girlfriend. Or did they find it a while ago and he's only being charged now?

I think they happened around the same time. He beat his girlfriemd and I think she told the police about the child pornography. That was a while ago.

 

[MMarston]

But this dude could get almost any girl if he wanted to and he decides to do this. I don't get it.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't because of such an inability to do so.

 

[Teletraan1]

If this guy wasn't rich he would go to Jail and get killed by other inmates. As it is he will probably get Jeffrey Jones'd and get 5 years probation and have to register as a sex offender.

Defense? I think the shit is nasty, but am I crazy for thinking looking at child porn is quite different from actually molesting children??? And should be judged differently. Am I alone on this?

Children in child porn ARE molested. Viewing it is no better they are driving the molestation and trafficking of children.

Also i dont think it needs to be said that some of those images and videos could have been created by Salling, that's usually pretty common. Then you have to think about protecting children, someone viewing child porn would obviously have a certain disposition for it, who's to say they won't go on to molest a child.

I remember reading an article on Cracked about a year ago where someone infiltrated a CP sharing forum on the dark web, and the people who produce their own content are most definitely encouraged by being able to provide to an audience.

you probably should be, because it's not that different

Well I already stated that if he helped create it, then I agree he's just as bad. However I've always thought there's a difference between watching an illegal act and actually committing it.

OK, this gives more insight to it, being I have no idea where they even find this shit.
So do people think somebody who has photos/video of women being actually raped or as bad as the rapist? Or that somebody who has photos/video of somebody being murdered is as bad ad the murderer?

 

[Sai-kun]

well, most murdered people dont continue to live on with the trauma of what theyve endured long after the murder has occurred so....

edit: oh that's not what you were asking, my bad. sorry for the snark.

Spoiler

i'm still not into snuff films regardless. i've got a weak stomach for that kind of thing.

 

[FTF]

ugh, disgusting.
