Stephen Bear Jailed 16 Months for Breaching Order Protecting Georgia Harrison

3 articles · Updated · bbc.co.uk · Aug 6

Summary

  • Chelmsford Crown Court gave Stephen Bear a new 16-month prison term after he admitted harassing Georgia Harrison by breaching a restraining order.
  • Multiple 2025 posts and videos about Harrison—made while she was pregnant—violated a ban imposed when Bear was jailed for 21 months in 2023.
  • Judge Christopher Morgan said Bear’s online claims were knowingly untrue and intended to cause “maximum harm,” leaving Harrison exposed to people who believed his lies.
  • Harrison said Bear’s online activity left her “feeling petrified” and fearing for her safety for the first time.
  • The court also extended restrictions to bar Bear from contacting Harrison’s mother and a friend, adding to an order originally imposed after his 2023 sex-video conviction.
