He will be required to register as a sex offender, pay $50,000 restitution to each victim who has requested it and abide by residency restrictions where he must stay 100 feet (30 metres) away from schoolyards, parks, public swimming pools, playgrounds and video arcades.
Salling must enter a sex offender treatment program and can’t have communication with anyone under the age of 18 unless in the presence of a parent or legal guardian and faces 20 years of supervised release.
Salling was arrested in December 2015 after investigators said the laptop, a hard drive and USB flash drive seized from his residence allegedly contained thousands of images and videos depicting child pornography. Salling’s former girlfriend called the police, according to the court documents.
The actor played bad-boy Noah (Puck) Puckerman on the Fox musical dramedy Glee.
