‘Glee’ Star Mark Salling Found Dead From “Apparent Suicide” While Awaiting Sentencing On Child Porn Charges

Actor Mark Salling committed suicide yesterday while awaiting sentencing for a child pornography conviction. The former “Glee” cast member had hung himself. He was facing 4-7 years in prison.

Nothing good comes from this entire tragic chain of events. Not for the victims of child sexual abuse and not for the family, fans or friends of Mark Salling. It’s important to know that no matter what, there are people you can turn to. Whether you are a victim of sexual abuse, or a perpetrator – it’s important to seek out professional help and not let the cycle perpetuate for one more day.

If you are caught up in the cycle and life seems hopeless, please don’t do something drastic and irreversible. Most of us reading this were there ourselves or know someone who is. There is an opportunity to come out the other end of this as a better, healthier person.

    I asked previously in a different comment section does anyone know what the suicide stats are for adults that are on registry never received a answer. Between adults and juveniles I believe it makes a stronger case on the grounds of cruel and unusual punishment

      I don’t know about registry but prior to that in these publicized Sex Sting cases it appears to be about 2%. I specifically study Washington State Net Nanny and know roughly 3 individuals have passed (2 confirmed suicide) out of 150-160 captured over a 3 year time frame.
