Jailed: Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Stephen, 33, was jailed for 21 months after posting a revenge sex tape featuring the former Love Island, Georgia star online.
New Beginning: TV personality Georgia hopes to put the “negative energy” from her experience with Stephen in the past and move to Los Angeles.
‘I miss my friends there, I love all the wholesome activities, the excitement, the enthusiasm.
“I’m very empathic and I get a lot of negative energy in the UK, while the US has the opposite effect on me.”
Stephen was jailed earlier this month for 21 months after posting a revenge sex tape with his ex Georgia.
He was joined by his current girlfriend Jessica Smith when he was sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court in Essex.
Judge Christopher Morgan told him: ‘You intended to maximize Georgia Harrison’s anguish and humiliation.
‘That is evidenced by the continued availability of the video after Georgia asked him to remove it. By making it available on his OnlyFans site, the video circulated widely and publicly.’
He was accused of exploiting Georgia, who requested that the personal video be removed from the adult site, in order to make more money from the tape by placing it on OnlyFans.
The video subsequently went viral, and in her statement, Georgia said it made her feel “physically ill” and said she was trolled online.
American Dream: On Instagram, she wrote: “I was meant to live in the sun, being in the cold/rain makes me feel like shit so if I could 100 percent get my visa sorted I’d be living in LA.”
She said: “As if the pain of having to meet all my friends, little siblings, parents, family and colleagues past and present was aware that it wasn’t bad enough, I had to deal with it by ridiculing myself on social media. “. ‘
Georgia says the tape has hurt her career, while she hasn’t been able to stay at her home in Essex for the past two years because Bear lives nearby.
She said: “Brands don’t pick me anymore because this kind of situation is something they want to stay away from.”
Georgia continued: “It makes me sick that so many people have seen it.”
“I also hope that this case sets an example for the younger generation that this type of behavior is completely unacceptable and that there will be serious consequences for those who decide to act in such a way.”
In December, Bear denied voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films.
But he was found guilty on all counts after more than eight and a half hours of deliberation during a trial at Chelmsford Crown Court.
The Only Way is Essex, Georgia star later said she had been through “absolute hell”.
In a statement issued through Essex Police, he said: “Bear’s behavior was completely unacceptable and those who choose to commit such crimes must and will be prosecuted.”
“I hope that taking a stand gives other men and women who have been victims of revenge porn the courage to seek justice and, most importantly, show them that they have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.
“I have felt ashamed, hurt, violated, even broken at times, but I stand here today feeling empowered, grateful, and a great sense of unity with everyone who has reached out to support me through this ordeal.”
Bear had been out on bail until January 31.
He will now be on the sex offender registry for the next decade and received a restraining order, which means he must not contact Georgia for the next five years.
