The restraining order was extended to ban Bear from contacting Harrison’s mother and friend as well, and those provisions remain until a new order is issued.

The Crown Prosecution Service reaffirmed its commitment to prosecuting those who threaten, harass, or intimidate women and girls online or in person.

Essex Police pursued the case, with a senior prosecutor stating that breaches of restraining orders are criminal offences and will be vigorously prosecuted.

Detective Constable Swarv Stafin emphasized that Bear’s harassment is unacceptable, highlighting the real impact on victims and urging others to report abuse.

Police highlighted their persistent investigation and Harrison’s courage, urging others experiencing harassment to contact authorities.

A court sentenced Stephen Bear to 16 months in prison for breaching a 2023 restraining order related to secretly filming a sex tape of Georgia Harrison and distributing it online.

Bear had used social media from March 2025 to July 2025 to post about Harrison and the case, with messages the court deemed highly abhorrent and harmful.

Harrison has become an advocate against violence toward women and girls, citing the case as an example of proper police action and survivor support.

This is a developing story and will be updated as new information emerges.

Harrison provided a victim personal statement detailing harm, distress, impact during her pregnancy, and ongoing fear.

Det Constable Stafin stressed that harassing behavior is serious and impacts victims, praising Harrison and urging victims to come forward.

The court heard Bear faced personal difficulties at the time of the breach, presented as a mitigating factor by his representatives.
