Stephen Bear charged in connection with revenge porn allegations

Celebrity Big Brother winner Stephen Bear has been charged in connection with revenge porn allegations.

The 31-year-old reality star was arrested at Heathrow Airport in January after being accused of recording himself having sex with his ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison, 26, without her knowledge.

Now the reality star has now been charged with voyeurism, disclosing private, sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress, and harassment without violence.

Bear is due to appear at court on a date yet to be set, reports The Mirror.

Bear’s ex Harrison previously claimed the star released a sex tape of her online and that the alleged tape had been shared on WhatsApp.

The couple dated briefly in 2018 after meeting on MTV show The Challenge. 

Bear previously dismissed Harrison’s revenge porn claims as ‘silly rumours’ in a now-deleted video he posted online in which he accused her of ‘fake crying.’

Following his arrest on January 15, Bear was then accused of breaking lockdown rules.

He was pictured shopping at Marks & Spencer the day after arriving back in the UK – despite government rules at the time stating those returning from the United Arab Emirates must isolate for ten days.  

The reality star was seen with his then-girlfriend Tia McAlister, 18, a beauty therapist from Slough, they have since split.

The charge comes after Bear reportedly moved back in with his parents following his revenge porn arrest. 

In images obtained by The Sun, the reality TV star was seen outside of his mother and father’s home, where he is believed to be ‘keeping a low profile’ after fleeing his home over death threat fears.

On living with Stephen Snr, 69, and mum Linda, 66, a source told the publication: ‘He’s been keeping quite a low profile since he’s been back home.

‘It’s very different to the person you seen on his YouTube videos where he acts like he’s king of the hill. If it wasn’t for that stupid over-sized car of his, you’d not know he was about.

‘We’re all keeping our heads down during lockdown so there’s not a lot we can do and he’s no different.’

The same year, he won the eighteenth series of Celebrity Big Brother.  

His ex Georgia first appeared on TV in TOWIE back in 2014 and then appeared on the 2017 series of Love Island. 

The reality star is currently living in Dubai after moving to the UAE last year.
