For those who haven’t heard the shocking news, Captain Josh Harris has been fired from the Discovery series

He, along with Captain Casey McManus, starred in two series, including OG and Bloodline

However, what is more surprising than Josh’s firing is the reason why he is not in the series

What’s the surprising reason why Josh Harris was fired from Deadliest Catch?

Why Was Josh Harris Kicked Out Of Deadliest Catch?

Die-hard Catch fans gearing up for the April 18 premiere of Season 19 may be surprised to see that the F/V Cornelia Marie will not be returning

That means Josh Harris, Captain Phil’s oldest son, is not coming back

Why is Josh not back in the Discovery series?

There is one piece of surprising information that fans of the show may have missed last fall

It turns out that Josh Harris is hiding a secret

Moreover, no one knew about it until it was listed on social media in August 2022

Last August, a now-deleted Reddit post revealed that in 1998, Josh Harris was arrested and found guilty of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old girl

Harris would have been between 15-16 years old at the time of this incident

According to Cinema Blend, first reported by Factz, Harris “digitally, vaginally, and orally raped a 4-year-old girl on 7/14/1998” DNA evidence including blood and semen was recovered at the scene

So, Josh Harris was formally arrested in 1999

The preschool girl is a neighbor and the daughter of a deckhand

In the affidavit, the girl told investigators that Josh called her “pee-pees” on their genitals After all, it’s unclear whether Harris will have to register himself as a sex offender

Many fans of the series know that Harris is now the father of a young woman, which can be confusing to many
