Jerry Harris, star of the Netflix docuseries “Cheer,” was arrested Thursday and charged in federal court in Chicago with soliciting pornographic videos and images of minors and soliciting sex from a 13-year-old victim at cheerleading competitions.
Harris, 21, of Naperville, was charged in a criminal complaint with one count of production of child pornography, which carries a minimum of 15 years in prison upon conviction. He was scheduled to appear before a magistrate judge at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse on Thursday afternoon.
