Reality TV contestant Stephen Bear has been jailed for 16 months after admitting breaching a restraining order that banned him from posting online about his ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison. The order was imposed after Bear was sentenced to 21 months in prison in 2023 for filming and sharing a video of the pair having sex on OnlyFans and WhatsApp without Miss Harrison's knowledge or consent.
What did Bear do in 2025?
Bear, 36, was told not to post or incite comments on social media about that case or Miss Harrison, but did so on multiple occasions in 2025 while she was pregnant. The Love Island star and campaigner said Bear's online presence left her
feeling petrifiedand that she feared for her safety for the first time, according to a statement read to Chelmsford Crown Court.
Bear admitted the charge of harassment - breaching of a restraining order, at a previous hearing in June.
What did the judge say?
His Honour Judge Christopher Morgan, who presided over the original trial in 2023, said Bear's posts and videos were
to ensure the maximum harm [was] caused to Georgia Harrison. He added:
You knew all of that was untrue, and yet you posted it,and also said:
You left Miss Harrison, I'm afraid, at the mercy of any individual who had aligned themselves with your lies.
In addition to the prison sentence, the judge extended the restraining order to stop Bear from contacting Miss Harrison's mother and her friend, which remain in place until a new order is put in.
