Navarro College Cheer Program Accused of Sexual Assault Cover-Up

A former cheerleader on the Navarro College cheerleading squad has filed a civil lawsuit accusing Monica Aldama, head coach and star of Netflix’s popular “Cheer” series, of discouraging her from reporting a sexual assault. Navarro College and two college administrators are also named as defendants in the suit, which accuses them of failing to take action against the perpetrator of the assault. The suit claims that the plaintiff was sexually assaulted in her on-campus dorm room in 2021 by a male member of the Navarro cheer squad. Aldama allegedly told the plaintiff, “if you keep quiet, I’ll make sure you can cheer anywhere you want” when she quit the team days after her initial call with the head coach.
