Glee actor Mark Salling arrested for possession of child pornography


Actor Mark Salling, known for playing Noah "Puck" Puckerman on Glee, was arrested Tuesday for possession of child pornography after his home was searched by the Los Angeles Police Department Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Variety reports.
Salling, 33, was involved earlier this year with a lawsuit after his girlfriend, Roxanne Gorzela, sued him for sexual battery. Gorzela alleged Salling had pushed her.
Salling's representatives did not respond to a request for comment from Variety.
