Stephen Bear: Revenge porn conviction 'sets a precedent' (BBC News)

Bear was found guilty of sharing a video of himself having sex with Georgia Harrison without her consent.

In a statement to the BBC, charity Women's Aid said it was "unacceptable that there are online pornography websites who are profiting from this abuse" and that "it is vital that young people know that sharing a sexually explicit image or video without consent is against the law and it's not a game". Bear was banned from OnlyFans in December 2020, after the CCTV video was discovered and deleted, but it is not known whether he kept the money he made from selling it online. An amendment to the law was created in 2021, which also made threatening to release private sexual images and films an offence. "The fact she went public with this after someone had put her on the internet in a capacity that she didn't consent to, for her to then come out and speak out against it - that bravery is just unmatched," Ms Isaacs added. Harrison said after the verdict that she hoped to give others "the courage to seek justice". "This is incredibly high profile and with the audience that Stephen Bear and Georgia Harrison have, I think this is even more impactful," Ms Isaacs said.
