Love Island star Georgia Harrison said she was 'living in fear' after 'multiple men' told her they'd seen the sex video her ex-boyfriend leaked online.
Stephen Bear leaked a video of the pair having sex and was jailed for 21 months after being found guilty of revenge porn. The 33-year-old, who won Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, was arrested in 2021 after he uploaded CCTV footage online which showed himself and Georgia having sex in his back garden in 2020.
Georgia said it was filmed and uploaded without her knowledge or consent. On the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme, she recalled “living in fear” after she was approached by people saying they had seen the footage before she discovered it had gone viral online.
The TV personality said: “Before I actually saw the video had gone viral on the internet, I had multiple men telling me that they had it shown to them. So I think when I saw it was on Only Fans, it was just the final straw for me."
She added that a shorter clip of the video was posted online, leaving her terrified that Stephen could sell more. Georgia went on to warn that revenge porn is much more common than some may believe – revealing at least five women messaging her every day to share their own ordeals.
The 28-year-old said victims have reached out to her since she waived her right to anonymity following her ex-partner's prosecution. She explained: “My case in general has really shocked the British public, but it is such a common thing – so common.
“Ever since this happened to me I became someone that victims reach out to, and I get at least five women a day – usually victims but sometimes mothers of victims or family members who want advice. You just wouldn’t believe how big this is and how many people are being affected by it.”
