CHICAGO — Former “Cheer” star Jerry Harris pleaded guilty Thursday to two out of seven counts in his indictment for receiving child pornography and traveling with the intention to engage in illegal sexual conduct.
Harris, 22, of Naperville, is scheduled to appear for his sentencing hearing on June 28.
According to his plea agreement, Harris knowingly received and attempted to receive child pornography around August 2020 in Naperville. During that summer, Harris began talking to a 17-year-old boy and asked the minor to “take sexually explicit photographs and videos” of himself to send to Harris in exchange for about $2,000.
