Reality TV contestant Stephen Bear has been sent back to prison after admitting to breaching a restraining order that prohibited him from posting online about his ex-partner, Georgia Harrison. The 36-year-old was handed a 16-month sentence at Chelmsford Crown Court on Thursday.

The restraining order was initially imposed in 2023 when Bear was jailed for filming and sharing a sexual video of himself and Miss Harrison on OnlyFans and WhatsApp without her consent. The order specifically banned him from posting about the case or Miss Harrison on social media.

Despite the order, Bear posted multiple times in 2025, during which time Miss Harrison was pregnant. In a statement read to the court, Miss Harrison described feeling "petrified" and fearing for her safety due to Bear's online activity. His Honour Judge Christopher Morgan, who also presided over the original trial, stated that Bear's posts were intended to cause "maximum harm" to Miss Harrison, adding that Bear knew the content was untrue and left her "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 prevent Bear from contacting Miss Harrison's mother and a friend. These restrictions remain in place until a new order is established. Bear had been released from prison after serving half of his original sentence.

Between March 1 and July 21, 2025, Bear made posts on platforms including Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, and Facebook concerning the case and Miss Harrison. The court heard these messages were "consistently posted messages of the most abhorrent and harmful type." Judge Morgan told Bear that his actions during this period constituted "victim blaming."

Miss Harrison, who did not attend court, stated in her submitted statement that she felt isolated, exposed, and unsafe. She expressed that the "significant stress" caused her to worry about her unborn child and led to her "spiraling on some occasions." Her statement concluded, "I shut him out of my mind for a long time and it's not fair that he's managed to crawl his way back in."

Bear arrived at the sentencing with his wife, who is eight months pregnant. When approached by reporters, he declined to answer questions, offering only a thumbs-up and a "Wish me luck guys. See you soon, hopefully." During his barrister's plea for a reduced sentence, Bear appeared to cry briefly. He was taken to begin his new prison term, shaking his head.

Bear had admitted the charge of harassment, specifically breaching a restraining order, at a hearing in June. The original conviction in 2023 stemmed from the non-consensual sharing of intimate content.
