Stephen Bear is ordered to pay £27,500 for posting Georgia Harrison sex tape ... trends now
Disgraced reality TV star Stephen Bear was today ordered to pay £27,500 within three months for posting the sex tape of his former partner Georgia Harrison or face a further nine months in jail, a judge ruled.
His Honour Christopher Morgan told Bear he must pay £22,5000 to the state as he had obtained this sum in profit from illegally posting the film and pay £5,000 to Georgia Harrison for the emotional and financial distress he had caused her.
Bear thanked the judge and left the court without further comment.
Chelmsford Crown Court earlier heard that Bear had not shown a 'scrap of remorse' and had not paid 'one penny' in compensation for the emotional and financial damage she had suffered after he posted the intimate film online.
Interrupting Ms Harrison's evidence, Bear shouted from the dock: 'The truth is I'm innocent!'
Ms Harrison told how fashion brands had abandoned her after the sex-tape was published on Bear's OnlyFans site, costing her at least £30,000 in cancelled contracts.
The 34-year-old was jailed on March 3 last year after being found guilty of voyeurism and of two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress.
He was freed from prison on January 14, having served 10-and-a-half months of his 21 month sentence.

His former partner, Love Island contestant Ms Harrison, had arrived on time, wearing a black coat, white collared top and black shoes.
During the hearing Ms Harrison told the court: 'Imagine walking into a room and knowing that everyone had seen you in a sexual act.
'I was at the lowest I have ever been. I couldn't go out, to the gym, to bars, everyone was talking about it.
'Almost every brand dropped me until I got my voice back [during the court proceedings].
'But even after the guilty verdict some people still won't work with me because I have effectively been put into the porn industry by someone I was nothing but good to.
'I felt violated, ashamed, embarrassed. I blamed myself for putting myself in this situation with this person.
'If I ever one day I want to have children that footage will always be out there.'

Ms Harrison added: 'He has never shown a scrap of remorse or apologised. He has not paid one penny, no hint that he would ever pay.
'He made money from that video which I don't think is fair.
'Bear done [sic] everything he could to hide his assets while he was in prison.'
Prosecuting counsel Andrew Bousfield urged the court to order Bear to make a payment to Ms Harrison for the financial and emotional damage she had suffered.
He told the court that Ms Harrison had won a compensation order of £207,000 and a further £205,000 in costs against Bear but she was unlikely to ever to see the money.
Mr Bousfield told the court: 'The question for today your Honour is what happens that money [the £22,305 profit Bear made from the sex tape].
'Mr Bear sold his house while he was in prison that produced £60,000 profit.'
The Crown's barrister told the court that compensation orders are usually split between the Treasury and the police.
But he added: 'Your Honour could also order the same amount [£22,305] to go to Miss Harrison.'
