'Glee' star Mark Salling cut both his wrists in suicide attempt

Actor pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography depicting kids as young as 10

Glee star Mark Salling reportedly hurt himself in a suicide attempt a month-and-half before striking a plea deal in his child porn possession case.

According to sources, the actor was in the bedroom of his Los Angeles area home on August 22 when he cut both of his wrists. He "freaked out" and screamed for his roommate, who discovered him bleeding and called 911, reports TMZ.

Paramedics rushed to his home where they treated Salling, put him in an ambulance and took him to hospital.

He was reportedly taken for psychiatric evaluation, and days later, was taken to a rehabilitation facility for psychological issues.



His arms are scarred, which is apparently why he's been wearing long sleeves in the Los Angeles heat, stated reports.

Salling took a plea in his child porn case earlier this month. The case was filed after police officials found more than 50,000 images of child porn on his personal computer.

The prosecution recommended four to seven years in prison under the plea deal. The judge has yet to impose a sentence.

The actor's lawyer denied the story, but did not say which details were incorrect.



The lawyer added, "Mark is physically fine and is spending his time atoning and working on himself."

Law enforcement in their raid found more than 50,000 images of child pornography on a laptop, with another 4,000 images and 160 videos on a flash drive, according to the plea deal.

The actor was originally facing a maximum sentence of 20 years behind bars after being charged with two counts of child pornography last year.
