Last year, the 34-year-old was sent to jail for 21 months because he posted a video of himself and Love Island’s Georgia Harrison on Only Fans.
After being released in January, Bear had to pay £5,000 to Ms. Harrison as compensation during a court hearing at Chelmsford Crown Court under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
The court discovered that Bear, who spent 10 and a half months behind bars, made a lot of money from people subscribing to see the video.
The first video featuring Ms. Harrison brought in £1,650.98, but Bear ended up making a lot more as more people subscribed to his content, according to what was revealed in court earlier.
Violated
During the Proceeds of Crime hearing, Ms. Harrison shared with the court: “I lived in constant fear that this would be exposed and my family would find out. It was an incredibly awful feeling. I felt violated, embarrassed – I struggled with self-hatred for a long time.
Judge Christopher Morgan remarked that the video had a “devastating” effect and permanently altered Ms. Harrison’s life. He noted that she suffered financial losses because of Bear’s actions, including losing job opportunities with brands and having to cover legal expenses.
Before Bear uploaded the video on November 8, 2020, his Only Fans account had 1,061 subscribers, as the judge was informed earlier. Within a month of sharing the video, the number of subscribers surged by 822. The video could be accessed for $9.99 (£7.95).
During a previous hearing, Prosecutor Andrew Bous field stated: “When he uploaded the video, Mr. Bear was acting like a very rich person on his Twitter account. His main source of income at the time was selling sex videos.”
Financial investigator Laura Mackenzie also noted that the defendant’s bank account was in the red.
Bear, who resides in Loughton, Essex, was sentenced to 21 months in prison in March 2023 after being found guilty by a jury of voyeurism and sharing private, sexual images and videos.
