'(Harris) was not a child,' McShain said. McShain added that Harris had used his position within the cheerleading community to both meet and proposition his young victims, while rejecting the 'blurred line' between Harris' age and that of his alleged victims. The Naperville native has been behind bars since October 2020, when US Magistrate Judge Heather McShain said he would be a danger to the community if released following an initial charge of one count of production of child porn. 'Harris' sexual assault of (one) boy in such a public place, in an unlocked public bathroom, during an event attended by dozens of responsible adults demonstrates that Harris either does not care about being caught committing his offenses, or simply cannot stop himself,' Assistant US Attorney Christopher Parente wrote of one of Harris' victims. The alleged victims in that case were boys aged 13 at the time, according to the criminal complaint. The Texas native was 19 years old at the time he was arrested in Illinois on child pornography charges in September 2020. Jerry Harris, 22, who quickly rose to fame in season one of the cheerleading-related Netflix hit, entered guilty pleas to two charges - receiving child porn using interstate commerce, and traveling over state lines with intent to illicit sexual conduct with a minor.
