UK reality star, Stephen Bear, jailed for sharing sex video online
Stephen Bear, the 2016 Celebrity Big Brother (CBB) winner, has been sentenced to 21 months in jail for sharing a private video of him having sex with his ex-partner.
The 33-year-old English reality star was handed jail time on Friday at Chelmsford crown court for uploading a video to OnlyFans of himself and Georgia Harrison, Love Island star, having sex in 2020 — without her permission.
In December last year, Bear was found guilty of voyeurism and disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.
During the trial, the reality star denied all charges against him.
He also claimed he deleted the footage and had only shared it with Harrison.
The judge, while sentencing him, wondered why the reality star “wished to exploit the economic value of the recording”.
“I’m sure that you recognised the enhanced economic value to you by having Georgia Harrison, a well-known reality TV and social media personality, in the video,” the judge said.
“She would have been known and recognised by many people.”
Speaking with reporters outside the court, Harrison said “today’s sentence is a vindication of what I’ve been put through.”
“Today’s sentence is a vindication of what I’ve been put through and sends a clear message that the police and courts take this matter very seriously,” she added.
“I want to let all other victims of this crime know that I stand in solidarity with them and I have absolutely no regrets on waiving my anonymity.
“I hope this puts anyone off committing this sort of crime and I hope for anyone who has been a victim of it, it gives them some sort of justice.”

NDLEA arrests returning businessman for smuggling cocaine
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested a businessman identified as an ‘I Just Got Back’ returnee for attempting to smuggle cocaine into the country.
Femi Babafemi, the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, shared videos of the seized contraband on X.com on Sunday.
The suspect, who had just returned from a foreign trip, initially raised suspicion due to his nervous demeanour.
NDLEA officials subjected him to a routine screening, during which wraps of cocaine began to fall from his body.
The statement said: “Narco-trend update: The moment #ndlea_nigeria officers intercepted an ‘I Just Got Back’ businessman, screened him, and wraps of cocaine began to ‘rain’ from his body. Who will tell them that NDLEA will always get them no matter the mode of concealment?”

A Paris court on Thursday sentenced the brother of France midfielder, Paul Pogba, to a three-year prison term, with two years suspended, after convicting him in a high-profile extortion case.
Mathias Pogba will be able to serve his one-year sentence with an electronic bracelet rather than behind bars.
