Saturday, August 8, 2026 - Former reality television personality Stephen Bear has been sentenced to 16 months in prison after admitting that he repeatedly breached a restraining order protecting his ex-girlfriend, Georgia Harrison.
Bear became emotional in court as he was sent back to prison, having continued posting about Harrison on social media despite being legally prohibited from doing so. The order was imposed following his 2023 conviction for sharing an intimate video of Harrison without her consent.
The latest case centers on a series of social-media posts made after Bear's release from prison. Prosecutors said his actions went beyond simply discussing the case, with the posts targeting Harrison and encouraging others to engage with claims against her.
The court treated the repeated breaches seriously, with the judge criticizing Bear's conduct and describing the impact on Harrison as harmful. Harrison has continued to speak publicly about the importance of protecting victims of image-based abuse and enforcing restrictions placed on offenders.
Bear's return to prison highlights the continuing consequences of breaching court orders designed to protect victims from further harassment. His latest sentence comes after he previously served time for voyeurism and disclosing private sexual images without consent, making the new punishment another major setback for the former television personality.
For Harrison, the ruling provides renewed legal protection, while the case sends a clear warning that restraining orders remain enforceable even when harassment moves onto social-media platforms.
