Netflix Star Jerry Harris Accused Of Soliciting Sex From Minors

NAPERVILLE, IL — Naperville resident Jerry Harris, 21, who starred in "Cheer" on Netflix is under investigation by the FBI for accusations that he solicited sex and "sexually explicit photos" from minors, according to USA Today. Harris was named in a lawsuit filed in Texas Monday by twin teen boys.

The lawsuit accuses Harris of sexual misconduct and sexually exploiting "others in the cheer community," USA Today reports.

According to CNN, the lawsuit alleges that Harris began inappropriate communication with the boys when they were 13 years old and Harris was 19. The lawsuit further alleges that Harris sent sexually explicit photos to the boys and requested sexually explicit photos in return.

FBI officials executed a search warrant Monday at Harris's Naperville home.

CNN reports that Harris's spokesperson said, "We categorically dispute the claims made against Jerry Harris, which are alleged to have occurred when he was a teenager. We are confident that when the investigation is completed the true facts will be revealed."
