According to the agreement, the troubled star will register as a sex offender, undergo psychological treatment and a sex offender program, which could include checking into an impatient facility. He cannot communicate with anyone under the age of 18 unless the minor is accompanied by a parent or legal guardian,And is forbidden from coming within 100 feet of school yards, parks, playgrounds, arcades or swimming pools.
As part of his confession, Salling copped to downloading “thousands of images of child pornography” from his computer in his Los Angeles home. Though he attempted to conceal his illegal behavior, he showed the horrific images to an “adult woman in the context of their sexual relationship.” When authorities raided his home on a search warrant, they discovered more than 50,00 images and videos of child pornography and erotica.
