USA Today stated Monday:
The criminal investigation is based on allegations that were reported separately to police by Varsity Brands, a private company that dominates the cheerleading industry and handles everything from uniform sales to major competitions. In Aug. 1 letters to police in Florida and Texas, Varsity's chief legal officer, Burton Brillhart, said the company learned of "inappropriate sexual conduct" allegations against Harris and reported the information to authorities as required by law.
[...]
Brillhart included two screenshots in his communication with law enforcement. In one - a Snapchat message - a picture of the upper part of what appears to be Harris' face is labeled with the message, "Would you ever want to ****". The other screenshot - which is a series of text messages - indicates an exchange that began on Friday, May 3, 2019, when an individual named "jerry harris" wrote, "Hey btw I found a place for us to do stuff it's actually pretty good haha."
Comment: Harris has now been arrested and charged with producing child pornography.
