Jerry Harris, the star of the Netflix documentary series Cheer, has been arrested on charges concerning the production of child pornography. Further, according to the complaint, Harris admitted to requesting and receiving on Snapchat child pornography from “at least between 10 to 15 other individuals he knew were minors”. Besides accusing Harris of sexual misconduct, the lawsuit alleges that cheer organisations failed to protect the boys. Cheer Athletics owner Angela Rogers told a newspaper that Harris has not been affiliated with the gym since March 1. Cheer was an instant success when it was released in January, and Harris drew fans for his upbeat attitude and his encouraging “mat talk”.
