https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.tmz.com/2020/09/17/netflix-cheer-star-jerry-harris-arrested-child-pornography/ TMZ gives his age of 19 at the time. |
According to TMZ: According to the complaint, Harris was 19 at the time and the boys were 13. The feds allege Harris also attempted to solicit sex with the boys on multiple occasions, including at cheerleading events. The criminal complaint says Harris was interviewed on September 14 and admitted to engaging in continuous social media conversations with the minors that were sexual in nature, attempting to entice them into performing sex acts with him in person, and to soliciting and receiving child pornography on Snapchat from at least between 10 to 15 other individuals he knew were minors. https://www.tmz.com |
This is heartbreaking. His life as he knows it is pretty much over. He’ll end up on the sex offender list and serving time. Sad set of circumstances. This would be a different story if he was 18-19. But at 21, he will not get any leniency. |
| This is going to sound weird--but this news actually stunned me. His storyline on Cheer was heartbreaking and uplifiting. and his future seemed so deservedly bright. Ugh. This is so on brand for 2020. |
|
I think if he was over 18 then he is fcked because he was no longer a minor.
This sucks because he was my fave. |
| He's going to prison for a very long time. |
| I guess the cheer theme “Be a Jerry” is over. |
|
Dammit Jerry!
All the kids on that show had serious issues and trauma, so this doesn’t surprise me a lot. |
|
It’s really weirding me out that the names and photos of the teen victims are being publicized. And the parents are okay with it??

Good, nor should he. Trash taking itself out- nice! |
Heartbreaking, no. Disgusting, yes. 19 year old man taking advantage of a 13 year old child. |
This would not be a different story if he'd been 18-19. These were 13 yr old you rape apologist. |
| Ugh...I loved him and was really rooting for him. This is so disappointing and disgusting. I hope those kids are getting all the therapy and support they need, especially since their parents put them out there in the media. Why they did that is beyond me. |
| Not JERRY! Ugh. |
Parents filed a civil suit shortly before the criminal charges were filed. Victims have been interviewed on the news (without face blurred). Agree that it is odd that parents are ok with the publicity of their kids. |
