 Jerry Harris, a former "Cheer" star, should spend 15 years in prison after admitting to asking teenage boys for sex at cheering competitions, the prosecution claims.

Jerry Harris



According to federal prosecutors, Jerry Harris, a former star of the Netflix documentary series "Cheer," should serve 15 years in prison after being found guilty of child pornography.


After entering a guilty plea in February to receiving child pornography and traveling with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, Harris, 22, may spend up to fifty years in prison.

Prosecutors called Harris' acts "horrific" in court documents that TMZ was able to access. However, they claimed that in coming up with their suggested sentence, they took into account his rocky upbringing.

Prosecutors also requested ten years of post-incarceration monitoring in addition to the prison sentence.

The legal team defending Harris asked for a sentence of six years in prison and eight years of post-release monitoring. On June 28, Harris will be sentenced.

Harris became the star of the first season of the documentary series Cheer from 2020, which followed the Corsicana, Texas-based Navarro College cheerleaders as they trained for the National Cheerleading Championship. 

A pair of 13-year-old twin brothers who claimed they were "star struck" when they met Harris and provided him nude images at his request sued Harris in September 2020.

That week, the FBI detained Harris. At the moment, he was 19 years old.

Later, he was charged with seven charges of having sexual contact with kids in Florida, Illinois, and Texas. At the time, he entered a not guilty plea to each accusation.


In a court filing, Assistant US Attorney Kelly Guzman stated, "Like many child predators, Harris took advantage of a power imbalance to sexually exploit his young victims. He preyed on the insecurity and youth of boys in the cheerleading group to abuse them."


Both the defense and the prosecution focused on Harris' terrible upbringing, which includes homelessness and at least two incidents of child sexual assault.

In their recommended sentence, the prosecution described Harris' early life as "filled of setbacks and developmental disabilities."


Harris' former connections, according to Harris' defense counsel Joshua Herman, "warped Jeremiah's understanding of "normal" relationships, especially considering that they happened in tandem with social media and inside the ecosystem of the Cheer community."

 THOUSANDS OF ANGRY ATAP STUDENTS HAVE PREPARED A PROCEDURE, REFUSE TO JOIN THE STRIKE. Thousands of students of the Abubakar Tatari Ali College of Science and Technology in Bauchi organized a peaceful protest in front of the college. Thousands of students have organized a protest following the signing by the Union of Voucher State College Teachers (jap) to go on a warning strike for two weeks. The students protested against the welfare of Shiga strike considering that some part of the students have started to write the second term and final term of diploma and NCE exams. Later, the leaders of the Students' Association (SUG EXCOS) tried to talk to the students, but the situation failed because they did not give them a chance to talk to even a single person among them.

We hope that God will put an end to this problem of strike through...
