"My understanding is there's been a plea agreement reached where the defendant will plead guilty to count one attempted endangering children, a felony in the fourth degree [and] plead guilty to count two: disseminating matter harmful to juveniles, a misdemeanor the first degree," the judge said at the time, per <a href="https://people.com/tv/drake-bell-pleads-guilty-attempted-child-endangerment/">People</a>. According to the<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/23/arts/television/drake-bell-child-endangerment-plea.html"> New York Times</a>, the two charges relate to the relationship he had with the teenager who he met online. She later attended a concert of his in Cleveland in December 2017, it is alleged. Following the incident, the adolescent filed a report at a police department in her home country of Canada in 2018. Per <a href="https://www.kxan.com/news/jared-bell-of-drake-and-josh-charged-with-crimes-against-a-child/">KXAN</a>, Bell allegedly engaged in an inappropriate chat with the juvenile which at times was sexual in nature.
