Stephen Bear jailed over sex offender breaches
The TV personality posted in Brazil "the police will not be able to catch" him, a court hears.
Reality TV star Stephen Bear has been sentenced to 24 weeks in prison for breaching his sex offender registration requirements, according to prosecutors. Bear, 36, allegedly boasted on social media that he was on a beach in Brazil while he was required to notify authorities about his foreign travel. The court heard that Bear failed to inform police about the trip and his return to the UK, as well as his acquisition of a new passport and two bank cards during his absence.
He admitted to five counts of failing to comply with the register notification requirements at Thames Magistrates' Court. Bear was previously jailed in 2023 for 21 months for sharing a private sex tape of his ex-partner Georgia Harrison without her consent.
