Reports show that, Jerry Harris, star of the Netflix series Cheer, was arrested on child pornography production charges on Thursday. Harris received a single charge of the production of child pornography per Assistant U.S. Attorney, Joseph D. Fitzpatrick.
Harris was under investigation by the FBI over concerns that he solicited sex from minors back in May 2019. However, it was revealed that he was arrested for soliciting nude photos from teens. The parents of 2 male children, both 14-years-old, allege that Harris contacted their sons and “repeatedly solicited child pornography images and videos.” The boys provided investigators with screenshots of communication between themselves (respectively) and Harris.
The feds say Harris attempted to solicit sex from the boys on multiple occasions. In response to the allegations and subsequent arrest, a Netflix spokesperson said the company is "shocked" by the claims, and emphasized that "any abuse of minors is a terrible crime and we respect the legal process."
