‘Cheer’ Star Jerry Harris Accused Of Soliciting Minors For Sex
USA Today, the star of the Netflix docuseries Cheer is being accused of requesting sexually explicit pictures and sex from underaged athletes in the cheerleading community. Harris was a standout from the show who became popular with fans for his affirming “mat talk.” FBI Agents searched a residence in Naperville, Illinois as part of the investigation. “The FBI is conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity in the area,” said Siobhan Johnson, FBI special agent and public affairs officer. The federal investigation was initiated after cheerleading company Varsity Brands filled their legal requirement to contact the law enforcement about reports they received.
