(Corsicana, TX) -- Navarro College announces the retirement of Monica Aldama, the coach of the school's cheer program which became notable for being featured on the hit Netflix docu-series "Cheer."

But at the peak of its fame, the program was embroiled in scandal when one of her former students -- and a star on the show -- was arrested on sex crime charges involving teenage boys. Harris pleaded guilty to two charges and was sentenced to 12 years.


Another former cheerleader filed a lawsuit against Aldama and the college, claiming Aldama enabled "...a pervasive culture of sexual harassment, sexual violence, and intimidation" on the cheer team. That lawsuit was dismissed just three weeks ago.
