There’s bad news for Jeremiah “Jerry” Harris, the star of the Netflix series “Cheer.”
Harris, 21, was arrested earlier today (09-17-20), just days after he was sued by twin brothers accusing him of sexual misconduct, according to a report.
Specifically, Harris is charged with producing child pornography, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Chicago, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Harris’ arrest comes in the wake of a USA Today report on Monday that the FBI was investigating claims that Harris solicited sexually explicit photos from 14-year-old twin brothers from Texas. The two boys told USA Today that the alleged abuse, which lasted for more than a year, began when they were 13 and Harris was 19.
Their lawsuit, filed Monday, accuses Harris of “sexual harassment, exploitation, manipulation, intimidation and sexual abuse.”
A spokesperson for Harris told CNN at the time, “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.”
Harris is scheduled to appear in federal court in Chicago this afternoon, Fitzpatrick told CNN.
