Who is Georgia Harrison?
Born December 28, 1994, Georgia Harrison is a television personality. She is best known for appearing in Love Island, A show in which a group of men and women compete in a series of tasks with a partner that they keep switching until they meet their true love.
Stephen Bear, Harrison’s ex-boyfriend, was jailed for 21 months in February 2023 for sharing a private video of him having sex with her on his OnlyFans website. On August 2, 2020, CCTV cameras caught the two having sex in Bear’s garden.
Harrison, who has featured on shows like Olivia Meets Her Match, Love Island, and The Only Way Is Essex, has given up her right to remain anonymous.

Bear’s sentencing judge, Christopher Morgan, told the reality star: “You meant to maximize Georgia Harrison’s suffering and humiliation.
“That is evidenced by the continued availability of video after Georgia had requested you take it down. By making it available on your OnlyFans site, the video circulated widely and publicly.”
He claimed that despite Harrison’s requests for the video to be removed, Bear knew the footage, which ended up being uploaded on porn sites, was more valuable because it featured her. As a result, he chose to “exploit” her.
Harrison told the court during the sentencing hearing that the publication of the video was her “worst nightmare” in a moving victim impact statement.
She claimed that watching the movie caused her to “felt physically sick,” and that this made her hysterical and start sobbing.

She claimed that Bear had impersonated her weeping while laughing in online videos. “As if the pain of having to know all my friends, young siblings, parents, family, and coworkers past and present were aware of it wasn’t bad enough, I had to deal with him ridiculing me on social media,” she said.
In the week following the release of the video, according to her, her personal Instagram profile received 63 million views, and searches for “Georgia Harrison sex tape” started to trend online.
At trial, Bear, who has also featured on Ex On The Beach, claimed he had deleted the video that day and had only shared it with Harrison. Bear was found not guilty of all charges. But he was convicted of voyeurism and two charges of intentionally disclosing private sexual images and videos at Chelmsford Crown Court.
A restraining order prohibits him from contacting Harrison for the subsequent five years, and he will be subject to sex offender alerts for the following ten years.
