Reality star sent to jail over secret sex tape (NEWS.com.au)

Shameless Stephen Bear made an arrogant remark to the judge as he was jailed for sharing a secret sex tape with ex Georgia Harrison.

If it’s 20 minutes long, you’ve put in a good performance. “When Stephen Bear filmed me without telling me it affected how I trust people. The star claimed Georgia had sent the video elsewhere and was now trying to “get him nicked”. The reality star claimed Bear told her “I would never do that” and promised he would delete it. Georgia said she broke down in tears and warned Bear she would “get him done for revenge porn” if the footage was ever sent on. She claimed she realised it was a “serious situation” when she thought she caught him sending the clip on WhatsApp later that night. He refused to apologise for his sickening actions and when challenged, Bear told a journalist: “Stick that in your pipe and smoke it”. Ms Rose also told the court Bear was hoping to get away from the “toxic” world of reality TV and return to roofing. Georgia also described the lack of empathy shown by her ex as “soul crushing” as she was forced to deal with “millions” of people watching the clip. The judge also said Bear “deliberately lied” when he told Georgia he had deleted the video so he could “exploit the economic value” of it. Brave Georgia said she was “happy and relieved” the matter is over in a statement outside court. As he was taken down to the cells, brazen Bear said to the judge: “Have a good evening, enjoy your weekends everyone.”
