Overview
- Bear pleaded guilty to breaching the five-year restraining order protecting Georgia Harrison and is due to be sentenced next month at Chelmsford Crown Court.
- He was previously convicted in 2023 for secretly filming and uploading a sex tape of Harrison to OnlyFans and served just over 10 months of a 21-month sentence before his January 2024 release.
- After his release Bear ran a high‑profile social media campaign that republished images and made defamatory claims about Harrison, with some posts viewed millions of times and prompting a police investigation.
- Essex Police investigator Detective Constable Swarv Stafin said Bear knew he was breaking the order and that his behaviour caused real stress and anxiety for Harrison, who has waived anonymity, won an MBE and launched the Georgia Harrison Foundation to support victims and push for safer online spaces.
- The case highlights tensions over early release, how offenders can monetise content on subscription platforms, and growing calls for stronger enforcement and platform responsibility as reports of image‑based abuse rise.
