Explosive evidence was introduced by Ross Harris's own attorney, as a witness claimed that Cooper Harris's father confessed to his church group that he had an addition to pornography. Defense witness Nathaniel Coyle told the jury on Wednesday, November 2, 2016 that "He Ross Harris brought up that Leanna his then wife had found some pornography on his computer." Coyle said Ross Harris asked the church group to pray for him because he was "having problems staying away from porn."
Nathaniel Coyle told the jury that Ross Harris hid his visiting prostitutes and sexted with underage girls from the church group. He said Ross Harris had revealed in the group that his wife had found him viewing pornography, according to WSBTV in Atlanta.
Billy Kirkpatrick told the jury that Ross Harris said in 2013 that he was "struggling with pornography and that he needed help," according to The Atlanta Journal and Constitution. He said Ross Harris had visited sites Adult Friend Finder, Adult Sex Finder and Ashley Madison. Kirkpatrick said that despite Ross Harris's pornography addiction, he believed he was a good father. "I saw him struggle with sexual sin at the same time as I saw him being a tremendous friend to me and a tremendous father," Kirkpatrick said. "Around 2010. As close as we were, there are things that I'm going to know about in his life. It came out through discussion with him. I wasn't sure of the extent (at the time). I didn't know if he was just watching pornography or was doing something else. ... He and I would discuss it, and it became clear exactly what his issues were."
Heather Coyle, the wife of Nathaniel Coyle, was the travel agent with whom Ross Harris was trying to arrange a cruise before his son's death. She told the jury that a month before Cooper's death, Ross Harris asked her about a cruise. She said that he did not follow up with her at all that month, but wrote to her the day before the baby died, June 17, 2014.
Ross Harris's defense attorney asked Heather if anyone from the Cobb County Police Department had contacted her since Cooper Harris died on June 18, 2014. She told the jury that no one had.
Michael Simmons, Ross Harris's friend, told the jury that he was not aware of his sex with prostitutes or sexting underage girls. He said the father of the baby who was left in the hot car to die was secretive about his life as was not a "big risk taker." He told the jury that he wished Ross Harris had confessed his sexual exploits to him, saying that he could have helped him. "If that had happened to me, I know he would have been there for me," Simmons said.
