Overview
- Chelmsford Crown Court sentenced Bear to 16 months' immediate imprisonment for repeatedly posting about Georgia Harrison on social media, and he must serve a minimum period before release.
- The Crown Prosecution Service won a new restraining order that prevents Bear from contacting Harrison indefinitely and said the case arose from a sustained online campaign of abuse.
- Bear pleaded guilty at Thames Magistrates' Court to five counts of failing to comply with sex‑offender register notification rules after admitting he did not report foreign travel, a new passport and bank cards.
- Court papers and police evidence say Bear posted about Harrison across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X and YouTube between March and July 2025 and encouraged others to target her.
- The case builds on Bear's 2023 conviction for voyeurism and disclosing private sexual images and underlines police and CPS efforts to treat and prosecute online harassment as a criminal offence.
