‘Glee’ star Mark Salling changes lawyer in child porn case

LOS ANGELES – An actor who starred on the musical dramedy “Glee” has a new lawyer to represent him in a federal child pornography case.

A federal judge on Monday approved Mark Salling’s request to have a new lawyer represent him and set his next court date for Sept. 19.

Salling’s new attorney, Michael J. Proctor, did not return an email seeking comment.

The 33-year-old actor pleaded not guilty on June 3 to two counts receiving and possessing child pornography. No trial date has been set.

Salling played bad-boy Noah “Puck” Puckerman on the Fox musical dramedy. He was released after posting $150,000 bail.

Police raided his home in December and seized a laptop, hard drive and flash drive they say contained images and videos depicting child pornography.
