Reality TV personality Stephen Bear has been sentenced to 21 months in prison for sharing a private video of him having sex with his ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison on his OnlyFans site.

Judge Christopher Morgan, sentencing Stephen Bear at Chelmsford Crown Court, said the disgraced reality TV personality “wished to exploit the economic value of the recording” of Bear and Ms Harrison having sex.

“I’m sure that you recognised the enhanced economic value to you by having Georgia Harrison, a well-known reality TV and social media personality, in the video,” the judge told Chelmsford Crown Court.

“She would have been known and recognised by many people.”

He said that the defendant caused Ms Harrison “extensive humiliation and embarrassment”.

After Bear was jailed, he raised a hand to wave from the secure dock, and said: “Have a good evening. Enjoy the weekend everyone.”

Following the sentencing, Hannah von Dadelszen, deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS East of England said: “I want to commend Georgia Harrison for the bravery and determination she has shown throughout this case.

“By contrast, Stephen Bear showed a complete lack of remorse by never accepting responsibility for his abusive behaviour, even going so far as to place the blame on Ms Harrison.

“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. This is a serious offence which has a lifelong impact on victims. Those like Bear who use devices to share photos or videos or threaten to do so can expect to be prosecuted.

“We want to encourage victims to come forward, safe in the knowledge they will have lifelong anonymity and can have special measures put in place when appearing in court, like giving evidence from behind a screen.”
