British TV personality Stephen Bear was sentenced to 21 months in prison after being found guilty of “voyeurism and two counts of revenge pornography” in December.
The reality TV contestant – who won the 18th series Famous big brother in 2016 – secretly filmed himself in 2020 having sex with then-partner Georgia Harrison, also a reality TV personality in the UK, and then uploaded the video to the OnlyFans website, also without her knowledge.
In sentencing Bear, Judge Christopher Morgan said the reality TV personality “wanted to exploit the commercial value of the recording” because Harrison “would be known and recognized by many people.”
Bear was also given a restraining order not to contact Harrison for five years. Harrison, who has appeared on several reality TV shows including island of love And The only way is via Essexwaived her right to anonymity during Bear’s trial and said afterward:
Today’s ruling confirms what has been suffered and sends a clear signal that the police and courts are taking this case very seriously.
“I want all the other victims of this crime to know that I stand in solidarity with them and that I have absolutely no regrets about giving up my anonymity.
“I hope it deters someone from committing this type of crime and I hope for anyone who was a victim it gives them some sort of justice.”
The judge said Bear had caused his victim “extensive humiliation and embarrassment”, while prosecutors added he had shown no remorse for his actions.
Beer waved from the dock as he was led to the cells and said, “Good evening. Enjoy the weekend everyone.”
