Celebrity Big Brother winner Stephen Bear jailed for breaking restraining order linked to revenge porn

Bear was jailed for 16 months after prosecutors said he used social media to target Harrison over several months, despite a court ban.

  • Former reality TV star Stephen Bear pleaded guilty on Wednesday at Thames Magistrates' Court to five counts of failing to comply with sex offender register notification requirements.
  • Bear was placed on the register for 10 years following his 2023 conviction for voyeurism and sharing private sexual content involving former partner Georgia Harrison, resulting in a 21-month prison sentence.
  • Specific breaches included failing to report a trip to Brazil, obtaining a new passport, acquiring two bank cards, and failing to notify authorities within three days of returning to the UK.
  • Separately, Bear faces sentencing on Thursday at Chelmsford Crown Court in a distinct case involving a restraining order breach related to social media posts about Harrison.
  • Defense counsel argued Bear was unaware of notification timelines, claiming he opened new accounts to manage living expenses after his NatWest card was blocked while abroad; he returns to Thames Magistrates' Court on August 14.
