The allegations against Cheer’s Jerry Harris have left Sarah’s portrayer “furious” — and understandably so.
Fans of Netflix’s Cheer docuseries were sent into a tailspin on September 17 when spirited team member Jerry Harris was arrested and charged with the production of child pornography. Among those fans was Linsey Godfrey, who plays Sarah on Days of our Lives.

The accusations against Harris, per the Chicago Tribune, originate from 14-year-old twin brothers, who allege that he harassed them online and in person multiple times when they were 13 and he was 19. One of the siblings has also claimed that Harris asked him for sex at two cheerleading competitions.

“Predators,” she added, “aren’t always in the shadows.”
