REALITY TV PERSONALITY Stephen Bear has been jailed for 21 months for sharing a private video of him and his ex-girlfriend during sexual intercourse on his OnlyFans website.

The 33-year-old, who won Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, and 28-year-old Georgia Harrison were captured on CCTV cameras in Bear’s garden on 2 August 2020.

Georgia Harrison, who has appeared on The Only Way Is Essex, Love Island and Olivia Meets Her Match, has waived her right to anonymity.

Jacqueline Carey KC, prosecuting, told an earlier trial at Chelmsford Crown Court that Harrison and Bear had consensual sex at his home in Loughton, Essex, but that Harrison did not know they were being recorded.

Harrison said that when Bear showed her the footage she told him “never to send” it to anyone and “made it plain how upset she would be if he did”, the prosecutor said.

The complainant said that she saw Bear send the footage to someone on WhatsApp later that day, and later that year she was made aware that it was circulating online.

Carey said that Bear uploaded the footage “either himself or had it uploaded to OnlyFans and profited financially”.

Bear, who has also appeared on Ex On The Beach, denied all charges and claimed at trial that he deleted the footage that day and had shared it with no-one other than Harrison.

But he was found guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court of voyeurism and of two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress.

Judge Christopher Morgan sentenced him at the same court on Friday to 21 months in prison.

After Bear was found guilty last year, Harrison said: “I hope me taking a stand gives other men and women who have fallen victim to revenge porn the courage to seek justice and most importantly show them that they have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.”

Bear attended his trial in a hired chauffeur-driven white Rolls Royce wearing a black fur jacket and sunglasses and was accompanied by his partner, Jessica Smith.

In January, while awaiting sentencing, Bear shared a video on his Twitter account of him proposing to Smith at a restaurant and her saying yes.

In the footage, filmed by another person, Bear shouted to other diners from a balcony table that he had a “special announcement” before getting on one knee and asking Smith to marry him.

During his trial, Bear’s Twitter account posted a “50% off” deal for his adult entertainment website alongside a photo of him arriving at court accompanied by Smith.

Bear had been on bail since his conviction in December.
