The other Harris involved with the Biden campaign is under FBI investigation.
USA Today reports that one of the stars of the Netflix series ‘Cheer,' Jerry Harris, who also has appeared in a campaign video with Joe Biden, is under investigation for allegedly soliciting sex from minors.
Agents executed a search warrant Monday afternoon at a home in Naperville, Illinois, as part of that investigation.
‘The FBI is conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity in the area,’ Siobhan Johnson, FBI special agent and public affairs officer, told USA TODAY. She declined further comment.
Harris, who gained national prominence when he was featured in Netflix’s recent “Cheer” docuseries, has not been criminally charged. Harris, 21, did not respond to a request for comment.
The criminal investigation is based on allegations brought by 14-year-old twin brothers. In interviews with USA TODAY, the boys described a pattern of harassment, both online and at cheer competitions, that started when they were 13 and Harris was 19.
The Washington Free Beacon notes that it was just three months ago that the Biden campaign used Harris in a social media video to influence young voters.
The video has since been deleted, but the Beacon has multiple screen shots of the Biden/Jerry Harris video.
