Salling, who could be facing between four and seven years in jail after admitting to having 50,000 images of children in his home, is said to have ‘freaked out’ after hurting himself on August 22.

Salling, 35, was reportedly taken to be treated for psychological problems after he recovered.

TMZ is also reporting that he has been wearing long-sleeved shirts in a bid to hide the scars on his arms.
