Salling, 33, allegedly used the Internet to receive a still image and a video of young girls on December 26, 2015, according to a two-count indictment returned to a grand jury, the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Central District of California said in a news release.
Those who download and possess child p*********y create a market that causes more children to be harmed, said United States Attorney Eileen M. Decker. Young victims are harmed every time an image is generated, every time it is distributed, and every time it is viewed.
A resident of the San Fernando ValleysShadow Hills neighborhood, the actoris also officiallyaccused of possessing two videos that show child p*********y on December 29, the statement said.
In 2015, authoritiesseized a laptop, hard drive and USB flash drive from Sallings home that contained thousands of images and videos of child p*********y, according to the press release. That material is still under investigation.
Through his attorney, Salling has agreed to turn himself in to federal authorities on June 3, prosecutors said. He is expected to be arraigned on that day.
The traditional stereotype about the kinds of people who commit child sexual exploitation crimes simply doesnt dovetail with reality, said Special Agent in Charge Joseph Macias of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements Los Angeles field office. As our investigators can attest, the defendants in child p*********y cases come in all ages and from all walks of life.
Salling portrayed Noah Puck Puckerman in 96 episodes of Glee from 2009 to 2015, according to IMDB.com. He also appeared in the filmsRocky Road and Glee: the 3D Concert Movie.
