Stephen Bear Released from Prison After Serving Half of 21-Month Sentence

Bear, found guilty of voyeurism and disclosing private sexual content, faces strict release conditions and an upcoming trial related to a property dispute.

  • Former TV personality Stephen Bear has been released from prison after serving 10-and-a-half months of a 21-month sentence for sharing a sex tape without the consent of his ex-partner, Georgia Harrison.
  • Bear was found guilty of voyeurism and disclosing private, sexual photographs and films, and was ordered to sign the sex offenders register for 10 years.
  • Upon his release, Bear is still serving a sentence on licence and is subject to strict conditions including no contact with Harrison as part of a five-year restraining order.
  • Bear's ex-partner, Jessica Smith, expressed concern about his release on social media, while Harrison, who has become a campaigner against revenge porn, said she was not worried about his release.
  • Bear is due to appear at the Chelmsford Crown Court later this month to face a trial related to a fence in front of his residence without permission.
