Jerry Harris, a cheerleader and breakout star of Netflix’s “Cheer” docuseries, is being investigated by the FBI over accusations that he solicited sex and nude images from minors, according to USA Today.
Federal agents searched a home in Naperville, Illinois, on Monday as part of the investigation, the outlet reported. The FBI confirmed to TheWrap that a search warrant was executed there.
“The FBI is conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity in the area. We have no further comment,” a spokesperson for the Chicago bureau told TheWrap.
The FBI did not comment further on USA Today’s report.
Varsity, a large private company heavily involved in the cheerleading industry in every facet from clothing to competitions, spurred the investigation by reporting the accusations against Harris to police, according to USA Today.
