Yikes. I know the world in general is full of weirdos and fucked up human beings, but Hollywood seems to have garnered an abnormally high percentage of them, that’s for sure. Mark Salling — whose name you probably won’t recognize, but whose role as Puck on Glee is… somewhat more recognizable? — was investigated on potential child porn charges. Unfortunately, it looks like those allegations are true as authorities are formally indicting Salling and pressing charges for both using the Internet to obtain images and videos of underage girls and also possessing the images and photos.
While it’s unclear how young the victims in question are, what’s extremely clear is what a sick fuck Mark Salling is. What’s with these weirdo fuckers and their sick predilection towards literal children? Whether you’re someone who subscribes to the idea that it’s a mental illness or not, I’m not of the mind that a person who has those predilections to begin with can be “rehabbed” not to — there’s seriously a screw missing. I don’t know what that means, or how I feel things like that should be handled (other than Salling being put away for a long, long time), but I’m just disgusted.
Here’s the report from ABC News:
Although Salling was charged by the state of California, after federal investigators reviewed what they described as “thousands of images and videos depicting child pornography,” the case was “referred to federal authorities,” which resulted in his two-count federal indictment, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
If convicted, Salling could face a maximum of 20 years in prison on each of the child pornography charges.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Salling is expected to turn himself into authorities to be arraigned on June 3.
Fuck this dude.
