I watched Cheer Season 2 and decided: We need to talk about Jerry. Our beloved athlete known for his inspiring “mat talks” has had a fall from grace after being sued for child sexual abuse and subsequently charged with
attempting to receive child pornography, using the internet to "persuade, induce, and entice" a minor, and traveling from Texas to Florida "for the purpose of engaging in illicit sexual conduct" with a minor, using, persuading, inducing, and enticing a minor "to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct."
I invited past guests (and current friends) Dr. Shiloh and Dr. Scott, of the LA Not So Confidential Podcast. Learn more about them and their show here:https://www.la-not-so-confidential.com/
In addition to their current roles as forensic psychologists, the doctors bring past experience working with sex offenders to help us process the complicated feelings around Jerry’s arrest and alleged crimes.
This is a tough conversation and I am grateful to Dr. Shiloh and Dr. Scott for their professional insight and ability to explore the nuance in this complex situation.
For a little levity, stick around to the very end of the episode to hear my favorite scene from CHEER Season 2. It’s the end of Episode 4 called “Hell Week.” Stunning cinematography but since you can’t see that, you can hear and enjoy the great music and audio clips.
You heard a trailer for my next series called THE BUSINESS OF CULTS in collaboration with Javier Levia of Pretend Podcast. https://pretendradio.org/
