July 07, 2022

Jerry Harris, a former star of the Netflix documentary series Cheer, received a sentence of 12 years in prison for coercing teenage boys to send him obscene pictures and videos of themselves, resolving a case that shocked many.

On Wednesday (July 6th), the former star of the reality docuseries was sentenced to 12 years in prison by U.S. District Judge Manish Shah for coercing teenage boys to send him explicit videos and photos of themselves. He was also found guilty of soliciting sex from minors while at cheerleading competitions. As he rendered the verdict, Shah advised Harris to consider his sentence an “expression of the seriousness of your crimes, tempered with some hope that all is not lost for you or for your victims, and that in the future some healing can occur.” Harris was also given eight years of court-supervised release to follow his prison sentence.
