'Drake And Josh' Star Drake Bell Pleads Guilty To Child Endangerment Charges, Faces Prison Time

Drake and Josh star Drake Bell, also known as Drake Campana, plead guilty yesterday to charges of felony attempted child endangerment and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.

The former Nickelodeon star now faces up to two years in prison. A video of the proceedings was released online showing Bell admitting his guilt — a 180 from his earlier statements in June 2021.

Bell was arrested earlier this month while in Cleveland, Ohio, where he allegedly “violated his duty of care” with a 17-year-old fan back in 2017 with who he'd been having inappropriate text conversations.

He plead not guilty at the time of the arrest, and it is unknown why exactly he decided to change his plea, but further details are expected following Bell's sentencing scheduled for July 12th in Cleveland. Bell faces up to two years in prison for the charges, but could also get off on probation.
