Georgia Harrison says Stephen Bear’s behavior during revenge porn trial proved ‘what I was dealing with’

Georgia Harrison has spoken out about her revenge porn case against ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear and criticized his behavior during the trial.

Earlier this month, the Big Brother Star was sentenced to 21 months in prison for sharing a video of himself having sex with Harrison on OnlyFans.

Harrison, who waived her right to anonymity, appeared on ITV This morning on Thursday (March 16) and opened up about what the conviction meant to her.

During the trial, which took place last year, Harrison said Bear engaged in “offensive” behavior. He once appeared in court with his girlfriend Jessica Smith in a rented white Rolls Royce with a chauffeur.

He also sang for a reporter after asking her why she was wearing a red coat on the day he was sentenced, and took selfies with a passerby.

Speak with This morning Hosts Philip Scofield and Holly Willoughby, Harrison said her ex-partner’s behavior was “disrespectful”.

However, she said the media attention on Bear meant the world “could see what I was dealing with.”

After Bear was sentenced on March 3, Harrison said in a statement to the court that she was “happy and relieved that this matter is finally over.”

“Today’s verdict is a confirmation of what I’ve been through and sends a clear message that the police and the courts take this matter very seriously,” she continued.

Harrison, who appeared on The only way is via Essex, island of love And Olivia meets her counterparttold This morning that the conviction meant “everything” to her.

“I don’t think I could have imagined until now and in hindsight how much was at stake if he had pleaded ‘not guilty.’ [sic], I would have lost everything,” she continued. “I was silenced for two years. I would have been silenced for the rest of my life. And realistically I would have been canceled because everyone would have believed that I had something to do with this horrible video.

Bear and Harrison were caught having sex in front of security cameras in Bear’s yard on August 2, 2020. The court was told he shared the video on his OnlyFans account and made more than £2,000 from broadcasting the footage.

The reality star, who has also appeared on ex on the beachdenied all allegations and claimed he deleted the footage and only shared it with Harrison.

But the complainant said she saw him share the footage with someone else on WhatsApp that day and was made aware it would be shared online later that year. Prosecutors told an earlier trial that the sex was consensual, but Harrison was unaware it was being recorded.

Bear was found guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court of voyeurism and disclosing private sex photos and films with intent to cause distress.
