Culture 'Glee' star Mark Salling dead - Actor was facing prison for child porn possession

Mark Salling dead; 'Glee' star was facing prison for child porn possession

Mark Salling, the former "Glee" star whose career came crashing down after he was caught possessing child pornography, has died. He was 35.

Salling's attorney told the Associated Press he died in the Los Angeles area.

The LAPD told Fox News the department responded to a call about a body found on Tuesday morning.

According to TMZ, Salling died of an apparent suicide. The gossip site reports that Salling's body was found in California's Tujunga-Sunland area.

"The LAPD did respond to a death investigation at 8:50 this morning at the 11900 block Big Tujunga Canyon Road," an officer told Fox News.

In October, Salling pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography. He was set to be sentenced on March 7 and was facing four to seven years behind bars.

The actor reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in October in which he admitted he possessed images of prepubescent children. The agreement stated a search warrant found more than 50,000 images of child porn on Salling's computer and a thumb drive.

The actor played bad-boy Noah "Puck" Puckerman on the Fox musical dramedy "Glee."

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Glee was a shitty show.

Never really watched it but all the commercials and previews and shit I'd see on TV made it look like Kidz Bop: The Series.

I don't think it's good how we demonize pedophiles. We should reduce the stigma, and encourage them to seek help. This will help us understand the illness better & we will have better progress.

I agree to a point, but 50,000 cp images? That's not someone who is desperately fighting an uncontrollable paraphillia, that's an awful person who deserves to be demonized. As soon as you give in to the fetish you lose all sympathy

I never really watched it either but it was basically people covering already good music plus Jane Lynch as one of the teachers, who I'm not a fan of. Plus the fans turned me off, tbh.

That's the inherent danger of stepping back, and trying to understand something like this. While you do, innocent kids are potentially in danger, and I'm sorry but that's just not worth the risk. Not in my eyes, and I daresay not in alot of other human beings either. As far as I am concerned, this man can rot in hell.

Too bad he won't make his date with the health inspector.

50,000? That's really sick. He must have been obsessively downloading all the time to amass that many.

Some of those kids were three years old. What kind of sicko gets off to three year olds? I will never understand pedos. Seven years wasn't enough of a sentence. 7000 wouldn't be enough.

The other guy from Glee, Cory Monteith, died of a drug overdose in a hotel room. The old mixing booze and drugs deal. At least he wasn't a pedo.

I’m thinking he was hosting a share drive or peer to peer arrangement to collect and distribute the stuff.

Has anyone else been appalled at his co stars all falling over themselves to downplay or excuse the pedophilia. “Oh he had some troubles he was work8ng through. He was such a wonderful person! Such a tragic loss!” Etc. I mean 50,000 naked and abused kids! Pedoporn is not a victimless crime.

This makes his cover of Sweet Caroline awkward.

'Touching you" indeed.

Fans too.

I hate that people are being so horrible about Mark's death. Yes he had issues and committed a crime but he must have been in an incredible amount of pain to be driven to suicide. I can only imagine what his poor parents must be going through. The world also lost a great talent. RIP mark salling!

Goodbye Mark, hope you find your peace after of the bad mistakes you made. Rip

Sad , about him, though the childporn was horrible , I can't shake the feeling he was a victim himself and that caused this to happen. He was ill obviously and I can't shake the feeling of feeling bad for him . I don't condome what he did , but he was still a person and people that knew him cared for him , cause they have to deal with everything that happened . I kinda hope his own demons won't plague him anymore .

This one's funny though.

The elusive pedophile lures it's prey

Sort of a cross-post from the Hollywood Sex Pest thread, but Crazy Days and Night has a blind item that is almost certainly about Mark Salling and claims he was found with defensive wounds, etc. An interesting twist, potentially.

Sailing knew some of the big names in the business. Looks like he knew too much

I read that. Supposedly he had a lot of names and that's why his sentence was so short. These low on the fame/money tier pedos are just useful idiots kept around for when someone needs to protect their ass by throwing them under the bus.

Rest in piss, pedo

 

[usernames can change now!]

New execution method for pedos: A garrote, but instead of tightening it manually there's simply a one-way slip knot. Every movement the kiddyfucker makes brings him closer to death, giving him ample time to contemplate what the fuck he's done.

edit: yeah this came off way more turbo-edgelord than intended tbh, tl;dr fuck pedos make them suffer

You don't just step back and let them go forward to molest kids.

No one's proposing merely "understanding" them. It's understanding and treatment.

And I don't believe people are just uncontrollably compelled to do anything. (Except maybe serious drug additions, but even then we've got to be talking like superheroin or something.) I think people are responsible for their behavior.

With a pedo, it's not like they're physically compelled to molest children. It's something they choose to do. It's (maybe) not their fault for being attracted to children, and they shouldn't be punished for that. But actually molesting children is an action, and that's absolutely their fault.

And they should be aware that if they do commit a sex crime, they will get ground into fine powder.

But it's also important to provide them a safe out. Where, if they seek help and don't diddle kids, they'll be fine.

You need both approaches, both stick and carrot.

The conspiracy theory nonsense is just that.
First off, he would have already named the names before the plea deal. They already have them if they exist.
Secondly, you don’t stage a murder with a hanging. It’s going to look different. You throw the body into the ocean or desert or deep into the woods, all of which are easily accessible from California, and let nature do its thing.

How does throwing a dead body into the woods or a desert make it look like a suicide?

Either way, I’m glad he is dead. One pedo less on Earth.

In this specific case, the pedo was depressed and had attempted suicide before. Dumping his body in a remote location means two things 1. the authorities will assume he ran away and killed himself to avoid prison 2. If you did it right, the animals and weather will done their job and if anyone finds the body they won’t be able to identify soft tissue wounds and ID will have to be done through DNA or dental X-rays.

Of course, if I was in on this supposed conspiracy, I think getting him to OD would be even easier.
