Drake Bell, the former star of the popular Nickelodeon show “Drake & Josh,” was sentenced in Cleveland on Monday to two years’ probation on charges relating to a girl who met him online and attended a number of his concerts when she was 15. Jared “Drake” Bell, 35, of West Hollywood, pleaded guilty last month via Zoom to felony attempted child endangerment and a misdemeanor charge of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles. Cuyahoga County Judge Timothy McCormick is allowing Bell to serve probation and 200 hours of community service in California. Friedman did not detail the inappropriate conduct Bell acknowledged. Bell and co-star Josh Peck also starred in two “Drake & Josh” movies.
