MARK SALLING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY POSSESSION

Mark Salling was indicted on federal child pornography charges Friday, TheWrap has learned.

Salling, known for playing Noah "Puck" Puckerman on the popular Fox musical series, was arrested in December by the LAPD Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

A search warrant issued for the actor's residence reportedly uncovered as many as 1000 images depicting minors simulating sexual acts. The photos were allegedly spread across a laptop and flash drive.

Salling was charged with both receiving and possessing child pornography, with each charge carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

The indictment specifies that Salling used the Internet to receive a still image and a video depicting child pornography on December 26, 2015. These images depicted young girls.

The second count in the indictment charges Salling with possessing two videos depicting child pornography on December 29, 2015. The image and video also depicted young girls.

According to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's office, Salling has agreed to surrender himself to federal authorities on June 3, when he will most likely be arraigned as well.
In 2013, a woman sued Selling for sexual battery and accused him of knocking her to the ground after she confronted him over the incident. The case was settled in March for $2.7 million, according to E! News.

ELIJAH WOOD AVOIDED SEXUAL ABUSE

Elijah Wood claims that young actors in Hollywood are being sexually abused by predatory high-powered 'vipers' working in the industry

The actor told The Sunday Times that the child abuse is 'probably still happening'.

Allegations that top Hollywood figures have been protecting child abusers have circulated widely in recent years.

Several industry figures have been convicted following claims of sex abuse and a former child actor claimed he was 'surrounded' by molesters when he was a teenager.

Wood said that his mother protected him from abuse when he first arrived in Hollywood aged eight.

'I've been led down dark paths to realize that these things are probably still happening,' he said.

The actor believes that other actors remain in danger.

He added: 'If you're innocent, you have very little knowledge of the world and you want to succeed. Some people will see you as their prey. What upsets me about these situations is that the victims can't speak as loudly as the people in power.'

Wood was making reference about Jimmy Savile, a British entertainer who sexually abused dozens of victims over five decades.  Savile was knighted by the Queen and his crimes were only revealed after his death, despite years of rumor and innuendo and led to allegations of a cover-up by government figures and broadcasting chiefs. 

It is believed that around three quarters of child actors that 'went off the rails' later in their life had been abused in Hollywood.

RYAN GOSLING AND HIS HAIRY ENCOUNTER WITH A TURKISH MASSEUR

The actor recounted a decidedly unglamorous incident in which he wound up with a mouthful of 'belly hair' from his masseur.

'I had an awful experience having a Turkish massage where this guy's idea of massage was to take one leg and the other arm and try to connect it behind my back. And then his belly went in my mouth.' he revealed.

'And you know when you get something weird in your mouth and, if you're eating something, your brain sends your tongue to figure out what it is?

'It's not a conscious thought. My tongue was like, "What is that?" It's a hairy belly!'

Luckily, it wasn’t something else that end up in his mouth.

Ryan recently revealed he has quit smoking after he unexpectedly gassed himself on lung-damaging fumes while shooting the film The Nice Guys, in which he portrays chain-smoking private investigator Holland March.
