Love Island star Georgia Harrison spoke of her relief after her ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear was jailed today for posting revenge sex tape of her.
Bear, 32, had filmed a consensual sex on CCTV -where he and Georgia Harrison were captured having sex on CCTV in his garden on August 2, 2020, then made at least £40,000 on OnlyFans from uploading the clip.
Harrison, who has also appeared on The Only Way Is Essex, was devastated by the tape and a judge said she suffered ‘extensive humiliation and embarrassment’ at the hands of her perverted former lover.
Bear has now been jailed for 21 months at Chelmsford Crown Court.
He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register for ten years and was slapped with a five-year restraining order banning him from contacting Georgia.
Bear was previously found guilty of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films. As he was taken down to the cells, brazen Bear said to the judge: ‘Have a good evening, enjoy your weekends everyone.’
His girlfriend Jessica Smith, who has vowed to stand by him, later shared a video taken before Bear’s sentencing where he still claimed he did not have a ‘fair trial’.
Judge Christopher Morgan said a jail term was the ‘only appropriate’ punishment for Bear’s sick crimes.
The victim, Brave Georgia said she is ‘happy and relieved’ the matter is over in a statement outside court.
She continued: ‘Today’s sentence is a vindication of what I’ve been put through and sends a clear message that the police and the courts take this matter very seriously.
‘I want to let all other victims of this crime know that I stand in solidarity with them and I have absolutely no regrets in waiving my anonymity.’
Georgia earlier told the court how his antics turned her from a ‘happy go lucky’ person to someone who suffers panic attacks.
She said she had so many attacks the Christmas following the video’s release that she was in hospital for the majority of the festive period.
Georgia added: ‘It’s my worst nightmare that any photo that should have been kept private would go public.’
