Stephen Bear jailed for 21 months for sharing sex tape of ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison on OnlyFans
CHELMSFORD, ENGLAND: Stephen Bear, a reality TV star, was given a 21-month prison term for posting a private video of him having sex with his ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison on OnlyFans. In August 2020, the reality TV personality, 33, was filmed on CCTV in his garden having sex with Harrison, 28.
Once Bear had shown her the video, 'Love Island' star Georgia had instructed him not to ever expose it to anyone, as per the prosecutor. She had made it clear that if he did anything like that, she would be upset.

'Sends a clear message'
As per reports, the judge, after pronouncing the sentence, said the video had caused Harrison "extensive humiliation and embarrassment," as reported by BBC. While talking to the reporters outside Chelmsford Crown Court, Harrison said that she had been in an 'absolute hell' since 2020. "Today's sentence is a vindication of what I've been put through and sends a clear message that the police and courts take this matter very seriously." Bear was found guilty of voyeurism and sharing private sexual videos without consent.
Michelle Roycroft, the police officer who helped bring the case to trial, told the station, "Georgia wanted to make sure that everybody understood that this was an offense that wasn't OK and that she could stand up to him. I wanted to encourage her because she has a platform and she's an amazing young woman."
Stephen Bear either uploaded the video to OnlyFans by himself or had it uploaded
The prosecution told the earlier trial that after asking him not to send the video to anyone, Harisson saw Bear share the footage with someone on WhatsApp later that day. Later that year, the video had been circulating online. Bear, as per the prosecution, either uploaded the footage himself or had it uploaded to OnlyFans and profited financially.
Stephen Bear was a 'self-obsessed show off' arriving at court in hired Rolls Royce
Before being sentenced, according to the report, Bear sang 'Lady In Red' to a reporter wearing a red coat and took a selfie outside the courthouse. The court heard Bear was a "self-obsessed show off" and he would arrive in court each day in a hired Rolls Royce and a large fur coat.
Following the sentencing, Hannah von Dadelszen, deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS East of England, as per the report said, "Although she lives a public life, Georgia Harrison has the right to privacy. "But that was taken away by Bear to make money in the most egregious way. Whether or not sex is consensual, it is a crime to share or threaten to share sexual images without consent to cause distress."
