    I was reading online that people were not shocked, I guess I was one of the few who was shocked. He was a very good signer, but glad he has been arrested and hopefully he gets an appropriate jail sentence.

    Yeah, I saw this last night - this is extremely awkward and disturbing news for fans of Glee.

    I saw him perform once, though I've never read or watched any interviews with him to give any impression of what he was like as a person.

    child porn is a catch-all phrase. anything sexual with people younger than 18 is child porn, but we all know that teenagers once they get into puberty become very sexual.

    I'm not protecting him, I'm just saying that it might not be that bad. Or it might be worse. :slight_smile:

    I quite enjoy the show Glee - if only for the music. I do find this shocking. Just because Puck was a sleazeball doesn't necessarily mean the guy who plays him in real life is like that - kind of turns out he is.

    I agree pinkpanther. They could've been 17 or 16. Here in New Zealand the age of consent is 16 so I forget that children could be classified as that age. However, I read in an updated source that the had sexual images of girls under ten... so yep - it was worse.

    To say this is shocking is an understatement. I know I thought this was a joke when I heard about it yesterday.

    The actor always had kind of a skeevy vibe to me and he's posted some pretty unflattering things on Twitter in the past and I believe he also has been accused of raping an ex-girlfriend, so while I was surprised about the child porn, I wasn't surprised to see him accused of something else.

    As for the "maybe they're just teens," I've seen multiple reports that many of the images were of children under the age of 10, so while it's still allegations at this stage, he's not being accused of looking at pics of 16 and 17 year olds.

    He also probably raped that girl. What a prick.

    I keep hearing under 17, but older than 13. I have no clue, except a report said there were hundreds or over a thousand pictures on his computer.

    I've never watched that show or knew of him until this news broke. He does have a skeevy vibe. I don't think he's all that great looking. I also read about that problem he had with a girlfriend in the past. No bueno.

    My sister is a Gleek and that has all rubbed off on me so I've seen the whole series, got the songs etc.
    She was very upset. And confused. She can't see his character on screen the same way again. Don't blame the poor kid really.

    Oh shit, didn't know they were that young. Seeing anything Glee related will be really awkward now.
