People fell in love with Jerry Harris following the 2020 debut of Netflix's hit docuseries "Cheer.".

According to federal court records, Harris admitted he solicited and received explicit messages on Snapchat from at least 10 to 15 individuals he knew were minors; had sex with a 15-year-old boy at a cheerleading competition in 2019; and paid a 17-year-old money in exchange for nude photos.

Jerry Harris from 'Cheer' charged with producing child porn.

Harris is seen but not a predominant personality in the first few episodes of the new season, filmed from January 2020 through April 2021 (with a six-month break due to the pandemic), both before and after his arrest. The scandal takes center stage in Episode 5 – titled "Jerry" – which features two of Harris' accusers, twin brothers identified only as Charlie and Sam, echoing comments they made in 2020 to USA TODAY.

"I don't agree with what he was accused of or condone it at all, and it is very unfortunate and it breaks my heart, but it's literally like your family," Butler says with tear-stained cheeks
