‘Glee’ star takes deal in kid porn

FORMER “GLEE” actor Mark Salling is facing considerable prison time after taking a plea deal in his child pornography case just two weeks shy of his federal trial.

The 35-year-old actor agreed to serve a four-to-seven-year prison sentence for possessing pornographic images of prepubescent minors on his personal computer, paperwork filed Tuesday and obtained by the Daily News states.

Salling (below), who was busted in December 2015, accepted the deal with the hope it will spare him the maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison. Under the plea, Salling admits that between April and December of 2015, he used the internet at his Los Angeles home to download thousands of images of child pornography. “Defendant attempted to conceal his activity by using software that masked his IP address,” the agreement states. “However, on at least two occasions in 2015, defendant showed his child pornography to an adult woman in the context of their sexual relationship. This was ultimately reported to law enforcement.”
