Jared Drake Bell, the co-star of the hit Nickelodeon show ‘Drake & Josh,' is facing charges in Ohio for attempted endangerment of a child—a 4th-degree felony—and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles, according to local reports. The latter charge is a 1st-degree misdemeanor 
On Dec 1, 2017, Bell allegedly chatted inappropriately with a minor, in a way that was 'at times, sexual in nature,' according to local affiliate WJW. At an arraignment on Thursday, Bell pleaded not guilty and was released from jail on a $2,500 bond.
The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office says Bell and the victim had been communicating for several years before the 2017 incident.
Almost a year later, in October 2018, the victim—15 at the time—filed a report with her local police department in Canada, who connected with Cleveland police and moved on investigating the allegations, per WJW. Bell is due back in court on June 23.
