High School Musical 3 star Matt Prokop has reportedly been arrested on a charge of possession of child pornography and four misdemeanour charges.
The former child actor, 35, was arrested and taken into custody in Texas at the Victoria County Jail on Christmas Eve, according to People and TMZ.
Prokop, who is best known for appearing in Disney’s High School Musical franchise, faces four misdemeanour charges, including one count of a violation of bond tied to charges from 2024.
There was also one count of evading arrest or detention and two counts of resisting arrest, search or transportation.
He additionally faces a charge of second-degree felony possession of child pornography after a warrant was signed to search his home, as confirmed by People and local publication Crossroads Today.
Prokop is also known for starring in 2011’s Geek Charming opposite ex-girlfriend Sarah Hyland, also 35.
They ended their relationship in 2014 after Modern Family star Hyland was granted a restraining order against Propok following accusations of domestic abuse when he allegedly choked her during a row, which she first revealed in 2014.
It is understood that Hyland was supported by Julie Bowen, who played her TV mum, to leave the relationship.
Metro has reached out to Victoria County Jail for comment.
