New Information Emerges In ‘Glee’ Star Mark Salling Child Porn Case

Glee star Mark Salling has friends and family shaking their heads at the suggestion that Salling is involved in child pornography. The self-described religious guy from a conservative background with a formal Christian education strongly denies that he has anything to do with child porn, or the thousand images of children under 10 participating in sexual activities. The issue created even more questions when he would not give the police the passwords to his many electronic devices (police investigators figured them out easily hours later).

According to The Inquisitr, Glee‘s Mark Salling is out on $20k bail, posted by his family, and has been seen shopping for a new phone and tablet because the police have his. The next hearing for Salling is at the end of the month and will decide if Salling is going to trial. For now, Salling will likely lay low, and has probably been told not to speak to the press, but that hasn’t stopped others in his life from talking.

Radaronline is revealing new “bombshell claims” from the Salling child porn case that creates even more questions. Mark Salling lives in a house owned by friend Jonathan Hernandez, his sometimes roommate. Hernandez’s brother Frank has been quite willing to talk to the press about the search of the house.

“Everything was Mark’s,” Frank Hernandez, the brother of Salling’s roommate, Jonathan Hernandez, claimed to Radar. “Everything was raided in Mark’s room and taken from there and had nothing to do with my brother.”

Frank Hernandez says both he and his brother were surprised to hear about the search and about Salling’s arrest.

“[Jonathan] wasn’t there when it happened,” revealed Frank, who spoke with his sibling about the raid. “He’s surprised, but I think police interviewed him and asked him a lot of questions.”

Frank Hernandez believes that the whole thing is a set-up by one of Salling’s former girlfriends.

“Apparently, it was a set up,” he alleged, adding his brother Jonathan “is cooperating with local police.”

The Mirror concurs that Mark Salling’s friends are shocked by the child pornography charges against Salling.

It seems that there weren’t a few images, but over a thousand depictions of children having sex on Salling’s computer and tablet, according to the LAPD. The images all fall under the category of child exploitation.

Salling was behind bars for several hours before his family bailed him out.

Youth Health reported that Mark Salling’s parts are being cut out of his current movie.

“Salling appeared ‘very somber’ and got in his car quickly after purchasing a phone, an eyewitness tells ET of the outing,” said Entertainment Tonight. “The actor was also holding onto bail bond paperwork forms, the eyewitness adds.”

The director, Adi Shankar, has concerns about having Shankar in the movie.

“Today I was made aware of the serious allegations against Salling as a result of numerous media outlets hounding me as to whether he would remain in Gods and Secrets. I’m going to wait for all the facts to arrive and if in fact these allegations are true, I will immediately take action, which includes removing his scenes from the project,” the director of the film, Adi Shankar, told the magazine in a statement.

Police reportedly used a battering ram to get into Salling’s home in the early hours of the morning, catching him by surprise.

Do you think there is any truth to the allegations that Mark Salling is involved in child pornography?
