Drake Bell sentenced to probation on charges involving a minor

Drake Bell, the former star of the popular Nickelodeon show "Drake & Josh," was sentenced Monday in Cleveland to two years' probation on charges relating to a girl who met him online and attended one of his concerts in Ohio in 2017, when she was 15.

Jared "Drake" Bell, 35, of West Hollywood, California, pleaded guilty last month via Zoom to felony attempted child endangerment and a misdemeanor charge of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles. Cuyahoga County Judge Timothy McCormick is allowing Bell to serve probation and 200 hours of community service in California.
