The FBI arrested Jerry Harris after investigating reports made to police by two 14-year-old boys who claim Netflix "Cheer" star solicited explicit photos and sex.
RELATED: bit.ly/3o2cf0F
Jerry Harris, former star of the Netflix docuseries "Cheer," was sentenced Wednesday to 12 years in federal prison for soliciting sex from minors and pressuring young boys to send him nude photos and videos, according to an attorney for two of the boys Harris abused.
The 22-year-old pleaded guilty in February to two charges for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old in the bathroom during a cheer competition and paying a 17-year-old to send him sexually explicit photos and videos via Snapchat, court records show. Harris also admitted to similar conduct involving other minors, though prosecutors agreed to dismiss those charges as part of the plea agreement.

This just goes to show that bad people can be disguised as good people. The people that you think look like bad people are often normal people and the real bad people are the ones with the smiles and the charisma and the status.

12 years doesn't feel like enough. These predators all need harsher sentences for the lives they ruin...every single one. Also I'm sure he's done worse and never got caught.

@colinwoods9601 2 года назад

1. You don’t get sentenced for crimes that “you’re sure he’s done.” 2. There are degrees to this kind of thing. He was convicted of receiving child pornography and intent to solicit sex from a minor. Obviously, both are serious and disgusting, there isn’t any debate there, but what do you think is an appropriate for crimes that never involved physical contact, just texting? Again, I’m in no way defending him, I’m just curious as to what would be the right amount of time.

It was all fun, and games, when the Cheer guy had something they could gain from but as soon as things didn’t go their way then the texts and such came out. Now, they want to be on television acting sad but they weren’t too sad when they were texting the guy. These 2 knew that no adult man should be texting them without their parent’s knowledge. Plus, what parent would allow their child to post a pic of themselves with their legs in the air? It’s more to this story on the boys’ part, and their friends aren’t just walking away for no reason…
