Georgia Harrison fears Stephen Bear won’t pay damages from court case

Georgia Harrison has revealed that she fears that her ex, Stephen Bear, won't pay the "record-breaking" damages handed down to him by the court following their revenge porn trial.

Bear was sentenced to 21-months in prison back in March after he was found guilty of sharing a sex tape he filmed of himself and Georgia. It was then ruled last month that Bear must pay £207,900 in damages to Georgia, The Evening Standard reported. Speaking about the trial on Rachel Johnson’s Difficult Women podcast, Georgia said: "I have mixed emotions right now. I have a lot of people who are really excited about the reward. “It’s the biggest reward of image-based sex abuse in Britain however, there’s a few things going on behind closed doors.

Not only will you face criminal charges, you could well lose a large sum of money. “He didn’t even try to act remorseful or try to act like a good person. He did a very bad thing, on a very obvious way on a verified account and did nothing to cover his tracks or apologise for what he’d done. I could never quite figure out what he was thinking.”
