Netflix Cheer star, Jerry Harris, received a 12-year sentence in federal prison on Wednesday after being charged of sexual crimes with minors.
Although the 22-year-old will have time to reflect on his actions, the mother of twin boys who were victims of the star’s crimes, revealed in a statement that her family ‘has absolutely no cause for celebration today.’
The victims’ mom, Kristen, explained what she felt needed to take place next, and stated that there first had to be change in the cheer community to ‘prevent’ such crimes from occurring again. 
Sentenced: Jerry Harris, 22, star of Netflix’s docuseries, Cheer, was sentenced to 12 years of federal prison due to sexual crimes with minors
Kristen began her statement by writing out that the Netflix star had a troubled past, but that didn’t justify his actions.
‘Hurt people hurt people’ is a cliché that is often trotted out to explain situations such as these,’ she began.
The mom then brought up her two sons as an example. ‘As Sam and Charlie have shown, we always have the choice to use our pain, not as a justification or an excuse, but as an impetus to support and safeguard others who are suffering similarly.’

Kristen closed off by expressing that the organizations and individuals within the cheer community need to do all that it takes to instill ‘change’ to keep its athletes safe.
‘Now it is time for those same organizations to demonstrate an unequivocal commitment to the transparency, accountability, and substantive change necessary to prevent this from every happening again,’ she wrote.
According to USA Today, along with his federal prison sentence, Jerry will have a supervised release for eight years when he has served his full time.
The publication also reported that Sarah Klein, an attorney for Kristen’s family that first reported any allegations, stated, ‘The sentence he received reflects the severity of his crimes and the lifetime of pain his victims will suffer.’

An FBI investigation began in 2019 over allegations that Jerry was involved in sexual crimes with minors and child pornography. It wasn’t until September 2020 that he was arrested.
The arrest and its affect on the cheer team is portrayed in the second season of Netflix’s Cheer.
While in court, Jerry apologized to all his victims in a statement of his own, according to TMZ.
‘I am ashamed as I know that I took advantage of your youth and weakness. I was wrong and selfish. I caused you harm and I do not blame anyone. I regret my decisions and I am deeply sorry,’ the star said.
Upon the news of the arrest, fellow teammates posted about their shock on their social media pages.

Kristen first knew that something was wrong when she saw communications on her sons’ phones between them and Jerry. The Netflix star and the twins initially were friends.
However, as their friendship continued, the Cheer star at one point asked for nude photos from Charlie and Sam.
During an interview with USA Today, Charlie, one of Kristen’s sons, stated, ‘What everyone is seeing of Jerry Harris from the outside view from social media is a completely different person from when you actually know him.’
‘I would not be putting myself out there and doing all this stuff and literally losing my friends about this for no reason,’ Charlie added. Cheer star Jerry Harris pleads guilty to child pornography
