Jerry Harris, from Netflix's 'Cheer,' gets 12 years in federal prison in child-porn case. An attorney said that 'reflects the severity of his crimes.'

Jerry Harris, star of Netflix’s ‘Cheer,’ was arrested Thursday for allegedly enticing an underage boy to produce sexually explicit videos and photos.A prosecutor had asked for a sentence of 15 years followed by 10 years of supervised release, while attorneys for Harris sought a sentence of six years with eight years of supervised release.

“I’m not an evil person,” Harris said. “I’m still learning who I am and what my purpose is.” He has been in custody at a federal detention facility. “The sentence he received reflects the severity of his crimes and the lifetime of pain his victims will suffer,” Klein said.Newfound fame, a pandemic and disturbing allegations against a teammate sideswiped the stars of ‘Cheer.’ And filmmakers captured it all on camera.

According to a complaint, federal prosecutors said that Harris admitted to repeatedly asking a minor teen for pornographic videos and images between December 2018 and March 2020.
