Reality TV star Stephen Bear has been jailed after admitting failing to comply with sex offender register requirements.
Bear was sentenced to 24 weeks in prison at Thames Magistrates’ Court, barely a week after being handed a 16-month sentence for repeatedly breaching a restraining order against his ex, former Love Islander Georgia Harrison.
The disgraced reality TV star, 36, was handed a five-year restraining order and jailed for 21 months in 2023 for sharing a sex tape of Miss Harrison on his OnlyFans page.
A judge also ordered him to repay £22,305 that prosecutors said he earned from his subscribers.
But after his release from prison, Bear breached his order by repeatedly posting degrading comments about Ms Harrison on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X and YouTube.
He also failed to comply with his sex offender notification requirements.
He failed to inform police about a trip to Brazil last year and then failed to tell officers within three days that he had returned to the UK.
He also did not mention that he had acquired a new passport and two bank cards during the trip.

In January last year, Bear revealed he had relocated to Brazil with his new girlfriend, boasting: ‘The police can’t catch me now.’
In a grim video shared from the beach, he bragged: ‘Life’s good. I thought I’d come on here guys and say I love you all, simple as that. I love you all.
‘Stay true, because this year I’m fully active, I’m off licence. The police, they could still be after me, but I’m in Brazil. They can’t catch me now. Catch me if you can.’
Breaching the restraining order to post online, Bear had sought to cast doubt on his convictions, including by alleging that Miss Harrison and her mother had conspired to pervert the course of justice.
Bear – who arrived at court last week with his pregnant Brazilian wife Miami, 19 – also created an online petition seeking support for a retrial and attempting to obtain Miss Harrison’s bank statements.
The 2016 Celebrity Big Brother winner persisted with posting despite several of his accounts being shut down.
