Mark Salling has pleaded guilty to the possession of child pornography.

The actor, best known for his role as Noah ‘Puck’ Puckerman in the hit Fox series Glee from 2009 to 2015, is facing four to seven years in prison, with 20 years supervised release.

According to Variety, the 35-year-old will pay $50,000 in restitution to each of the victims who request it, and will be registered as a sex offender.

Mark was first arrested back in December 2015, after his house was searched by the Los Angeles Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce.

Then, in May 2016, he was indicted on two counts of child porn, and charged with receiving and possessing child porn on his laptop and a USB flash drive – however, Mark pleaded not guilty in June 2016.

In a plea agreement filed with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on Tuesday, Mark pleaded guilty to “one felony count of possession of child pornography involving a prepubescent minor.”

Documents state that over 50,000 images and videos of child porn and erotica were found on his laptop, and about 4,000 images and 160 videos of child porn were found on his USB flash drive.
