Netflix Star Jerry Harris Dubbed “Serial Sexual Predator” By Prosecutors

He was Netflix’s Cheer breakout star with the world at his fingertips, and now Jerry Harris is looking at spending the rest of his life behind bars. The 21-year-old former cheerleading coach was recently arrested in connection with accusations that he used social media to send and receive inappropriate photos and messages from underaged boys. Now, more information about his case has been revealed by prosecutors who state that Jerry Harris “exploited and violated” at least 10 boys, the youngest reportedly being 13.

“If a full gymnasium of cheer mom and dads is not enough to deter Harris from committing these crimes, a single cheer mom will have no chance at protecting the community from Harris,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Parente wrote in court documents. In one instance, Harris is accused of following a 15-year-old boy into a locker room during a cheerleading event and sexually assaulting him.

“Harris’ sexual assault of this boy in such a public place, in an unlocked public bathroom, during an event attended by dozens of responsible adults demonstrates that Harris either does not care about being caught committing his offenses, or simply cannot stop himself,” Parente stated. Prosecutors call Jerry Harris a “danger” to society and say that he is a “serial child predator” who will continue to seek victims if he doesn’t receive serious help. The Netflix star has reportedly admitted to police that he’d sent and received images on Snapchat from approximately a dozen people he knew were minors.

Harris has had a whirlwind experience following the release of Cheer. The young star interviewed celebrities on the Academy Awards red carpet on behalf of Ellen DeGeneres’s Show, was praised by Gabrielle Union, and even met with Oprah Winfrey. Harris’s defense attorneys are hoping that he will receive bond, citing that he isn’t a flight risk.

Michael Coleman captures heartbreak’s quiet echo on latest release “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow”

Michael Coleman

The Metropolitan Cowboy Michael Coleman returns with a deeply affecting new single, “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow,” a song that explores the emotional landscape left behind when love fades and certainty disappears. Written by Coleman, the track offers a reflection on heartbreak, loneliness, and the difficult process of rediscovering oneself after loss.

One of the song’s most compelling strengths lies in its honesty. Lyrics such as, “Right now she’s not anybody’s girl / Though she used to be someone’s wife,” reveal the profound identity shifts that often accompany heartbreak. Rather than offering easy answers, the track embraces uncertainty, making its emotional impact all the more powerful.

The chorus and bridge further deepen the song’s resonance, highlighting the struggle of moving forward while carrying the scars of past experiences. The line, “When you don’t know what comes next / You can’t protect your heart from battle scars,” serves as a striking reminder of the openness that comes with healing and personal growth.

Musically, “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow” balances classic country sensibilities with polished contemporary production. The arrangement feels spacious and expressive, creating room for the song’s emotional themes to breathe while maintaining a strong sense of accessibility. The result is a track that feels equally at home during a solitary late-night listen or on mainstream radio.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.

The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.

The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.

The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.
