It's one less thorn in the side of former "Glee" star Mark Salling. The rape case filed against him was just rejected by the L.A District Attorney.
Last April 2016, a 22-year old woman filed a rape case against former "Glee" star Mark Salling. According to the woman's statement, during her months-long relationship with Mark Salling, she and the former "Glee" star allegedly went to a room to have sex. The woman then changed her mind and said "no" to Mark Salling but the former "Glee" star allegedly didn't stop when she said "no" and allegedly proceeded to rape her.
The next morning, the 22-year-old woman woke up next to Mark Salling and both proceeded to have consensual sex that morning. Mark Salling was not arrested since the District Attorney decided to review the alleged rape case against the actor as TMZ reports.
Now, a year after the allegations, the District Attorney of L.A has thrown out the rape charges against the former "Glee" actor. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Mark Salling will not be persecuted for the rape charges. The District Attorney has thrown out the case on the basis of the long delay in reporting the alleged rape, insufficient evidence and lack of corroboration.
However, if more evidence is obtained, the case can be reopened. So technically, the former 'Glee' actor will not go to jail based on this rape allegations but could face up to twenty years in prison for his child pornography allegations.
Last July 2016, Mark Salling who is also facing charges of receiving child pornography and for possessing the porn pleaded not guilty to the allegations. He posted his $150,000 bail but will be fitted with an ankle-monitoring bracelet. The actor is best known for his role as Puck in "Glee" is also prohibited from using Internet and gadgets that contain access to the Internet. He could use the Internet under supervision or when Mark Salling can get approval beforehand.
The former "Glee" actor is also not allowed to go near anyone under eighteen and must stay away a hundred yards from places like schools, parks, arcades or anywhere minors might be present.
