Stephen Bear: Celebrity Big Brother winner found guilty of sharing sex tape of ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison
Reality star Stephen Bear has been found guilty of sharing a video of him having sex with his ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison on the website OnlyFans.
The Celebrity Big Brother winner and Ms Harrison were captured having sex on CCTV cameras in Bear’s garden on August 2, 2020, Chelmsford Crown Court heard.
The prosecution said that the sex at Bear‘s home in Loughton, in Essex, was consensual but that Ms Harrison, who has waived her right to anonymity, did not know that they were being recorded.
Bear had denied all charges, but on Tuesday, a jury found him guilty by unanimous verdicts of two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress.
He was found guilty by a majority verdict of 10 jurors to two of voyeurism.
Ms Harrison attended Chelmsford Crown Court with her mother to hear the verdicts of the jury.
The reality star, who has appeared on The Only Way Is Essex and Love Island, told an earlier court hearing that when Bear showed her the footage she told him “never to send” it to anyone and “made it plain how upset she would be if he did”, said Jacqueline Carey KC, prosecuting.
The complainant said she saw Bear send the footage to someone on WhatsApp later that day, and that later that year she was made aware that it was circulating online.
Ms Carey said that Bear uploaded the footage “either himself or had it uploaded to OnlyFans and profited financially”.
Bear, who has appeared on Ex On The Beach, said that he deleted the video on August 2, 2020, and did not send it to others.
Asked about footage being uploaded to his OnlyFans page, he said: “I don’t know of any video being uploaded.”
