For almost three years, Georgia Harrison fought the consequences of a crime that recently even had legal consequences. In the summer of 2020, Harrison’s ex-boyfriend, reality TV star Stephen Bear, shared footage from his security camera showing him and Harrison having sex.
She begged Bear not to show anyone the footage. Bear did it anyway. He posted the film to OnlyFans, along with the caption, according to Harrison: “Sign up now for 50 percent off to see me f*** this b***h in my backyard.” Harrison sued Bear and even dropped her due anonymity. During the court process, the Brit continued to stage himself, posing for photographers with a fur coat and extravagant walking stick. At the end of last year he was found guilty and the 33-year-old has to go to prison for 21 months.
In the ITV documentary “Revenge Porn: Georgia vs. Bear” on Monday evening, the victim spoke in more detail about the crime and its aftermath. And she revealed how she convicted Bear. After hearing that Bear had both Whatsapped the clip and posted it to OnlyFans, Harrison gathered evidence via social media. She asked her fans for screenshots and other evidence, had everything sent to an email address from her mother. Her ex-boyfriend confronted her when he got wind of it. “What the hell are you doing? My messages are flooded with everyone saying I filmed you and sent [the video] out. Then I went on your story and you wrote some friggin’ essays and essays that made me as someone I’m not,” he wrote to her. In the documentary, Harrison shows the flow of text between himself and Bear.
“I have proof of this and you know what you did so don’t play dumb,” she wrote in response. But Bear continued to play the clueless. “He was just trying to manipulate me into feeling sorry for him, which has worked in the past,” explains the former “Love Island” contestant on camera.
As she proves from the Whatsapp messages, despite Bear’s efforts, she stayed with herself and her evidence. “I’ve spoken to several guys that you showed it to and I have people who have it and sent me screenshots. (…) I’m going to fuck you up. (…) You’re going to jail for that, Bear ” she wrote to him. And sure enough, Harrison was successful with her lawsuit. Today she knows that the court decision also decided her career. Because if her ex-boyfriend hadn’t been found guilty, she would have been “cancelled,” Harrison said on “This Morning.”
Now the influencer also wants to sue her ex-partner for damages and get back the amount she lost in recent years due to canceled jobs.
Revenge porn plays an increasingly important role in law enforcement in this day and age when anyone can post clips online. In the USA, the laws have only recently been tightened. The following applies in Germany: According to Section 201a of the Criminal Code, such an act is punishable by imprisonment for up to two years or a fine.
