Mark Salling Arrested For Possessing Child Pornography

Glee actor Mark Salling has been arrested for possessing child pornography after his ex girlfriend had tip off the police.

The LAPD's internet Crimes Against Children Task Force unit served a search warrant early yesterday at an address in Sunland, California where the 33 years old TV star lives.  Cops searched his computer and they found hundreds of indecent images of child sexual exploitation. Officer Aaron Jefferson from the LAPD confirmed that Salling had been arrested on child porn charges on Tuesday morning as he is now being held in Los Angeles' Downtown jail. His bail is put at $20,000 but could still face more charges. 

It was reported that the police used battering rams to get into the house because he refused to let them in at first. His computer and other electronic devices were reportedly seized by cops after Salling refused to tell them his password.  It also reported that an ex-girlfriend tipped off the cops, forcing them to investigate before the raid to check it wasn't for revenge. According to records, the house raided by the LAPD belongs to Jonathan Hernandez, who has been Salling's roommate as far back as 2011.

In 2011, Roxanne Gorzela claimed he forced her to have unprotected sex and then when she confronted him several days later, he pushed her to the ground injuring her knees. It was reported that the case was settled midway through trial after Gorzela dropped the sexual battery claim. In March he allegedly reached a $2.7million settlement with the woman. Salling admitted to negligently causing her to fall and injure herself. She is not believed to have been the woman who tipped off the authorities.
