'Glee' actor Mark Salling arrested over possession of indecent images of children

Mark Salling was arrested on Tuesday for possession of child pornography (as defined by the US justice system).

The Los Angeles Police Department Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force obtained a search warrant to search the former “Glee” star’s home, Variety reports.

Law enforcement officers seized all electronic devices at the 33-year-old actor's Sunland home. Officials told TMZ that they've seen more than one thousand images of "child sexual exploitation" on Salling's computer.

Salling was booked at 9:47am and his bail was set at $20,000.

Earlier this year, Salling was involved in an lawsuit for allegedly pushing his former girlfriend Roxanne Gorzela.

Despite maintaining his innocence, the actor was forced to pay Gorzela $2.7 million worth of damages.
