Netflix Star Jerry Harris Indicted On Additional Charges: Report

NAPERVILLE, IL — Naperville resident Jerry Harris, 21, star of Netflix's Cheer, has been indicted on new charges as four new accusers say he solicited photos and sex from minors. If convicted, Harris faces up at least 15 years in prison.

Harris was initially accused in September, when the FBI conducted a search of his Naperville home.

According to CNN, the initial lawsuit alleged that Harris began inappropriate communication with twin boys when they were 13 years old and Harris was 19. The lawsuit further accused Harris of sending sexually explicit photos to the boys and requesting sexually explicit photos in return.

Harris was later charged with producing child pornography. Harris was accused of contacting a 13-year-old boy on social media and enticing him to send sexually explicit photos and videos, according to the complaint.

The complaint further alleged that the teen informed Harris of his age during their initial online communication.

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."
