Georgia Harrison has won praise for her “brave” documentary on becoming a victim of revenge porn.
The reality star’s ex Stephen Bear was sentenced to 21 months in prison earlier this month, after he was found guilty of sharing a secret sex tape of them.
Bear, who won Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, filmed the pair having sex on CCTV without Georgia’s consent and claims he made £40,000 after he uploaded it to OnlyFans.
He was convicted of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.
Alongside his 21-month jail sentence, Bear was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register for ten years and was slapped with a five-year restraining order banning him from contacting Georgia.
Bear will also have notification requirements to keep police informed about his address and whereabouts for 10 years.
Victims of any kind of sexual offence in the UK are automatically granted anonymity, but Georgia bravely decided to waive her right to anonymity in order to speak out about her experience.
The former Love Island star opened up about the ordeal in ITV’s Georgia vs. Bear: Revenge Porn, which aired on Monday night.
The documentary featured vlogs from Georgia as the case unfolded, as well as interviews from her mum Nicola and fellow Love Island contestants.
Reacting to the documentary, one fan tweeted: “Georgia Harrison is a really brave and inspirational woman. I really do hope she can put this dark period behind her and move on with her life.”
Another wrote: “@georgiaharisonx is an incredibly brave, empowering women and I would be super proud for any daughters of mine to look up to her she warned him, and he didn’t listen. What an amazing girl.”
