After serving half of his sentence, Bear, 35, was released in January of this year.
The horrifying ordeal sparked a new mission for the 30-year-old, who has since campaigned to tackle violence against women and girls and raised awareness of revenge porn and issues surrounding consent. Just a few weeks ago, Harrison discovered she had made the King's Birthday Honours list, and was set to receive the prestigious award.
The reality star has become a budding young documentary-maker in recent years, with her documentaries Revenge Porn and Porn, Power, Profit raising a demonstrable amount of awareness for the issue. The documentaries highlighted Georgia's own harrowing experience, the similar experiences of other women and how predators make money from exploiting women. Speaking in Revenge Porn, Georgia stated:
“Two years ago, my life changed forever when CCTV footage of me having sex with Stephen Bear went viral. He filmed and shared it without my consent…I think I expected some form of empathy, remorse, maybe that he would realise what he had done… what a slap in the face that on top of everything, he thought he could lie his way publicly through this."
Georgia recently announced she is expecting her first child with 33-year-old City worker Jack Stacey who she met on a dating app in the summer of 2024.
