“Cheer” star Jeremiah “Jerry” Harris has admitted to targeting as many as 10 underage boys and sexually assaulting a 15-year-old, prosecutors said in a court filing on Tuesday.

According to the filing, which asks that Harris be detained pending trial, the cheerleader “exploited and violated at least 10 minor boys by repeatedly requesting the boys sent him sexually explicit images of themselves,” and attempted to solicit sex from each of his victims.

Prosecutors also said Harris admitted to sexually assaulting a 15-year-old in a bathroom at a public event “attended by other adults in the cheer community.” He has not been charged yet with anything related to that alleged incident.
