Disgraced sex offender Stephen Bear, 35, marries 18-year-old Brazilian girlfriend a year after prison stint

Warning: This article contains discussion of sexual harassment which some readers may find distressing

Stephen Bear, the registered sex offender and former TV personality, has married an 18-year-old in Brazil just one year on from his prison sentence.

The 35-year-old was sent to prison in late 2023 after being found guilty of sharing private sexual photos and videos in his 'revenge porn' trial against ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison.

He spent 11 months behind bars and was released early in January 2024, before moving to South America, with his TV opportunities thankfully limited following his crimes.

Ms Harrison, who recently received an MBE for her campaigns tackling violence against women and girls and her work with the government on the Online Safety Act in 2023, has spoken openly about the trauma that Mr Bear put her through when uploading explicit videos and photos of her to OnlyFans without her permission.

However, that hasn't stopped the London-born celebrity starting a relationship with someone half his age in Brazil as he confirmed his marriage to the teenager publicly known as Miami on Instagram with a wedding video featuring him (badly) singing Frankie Valli's 'I Can't Take My Eyes Off You'.

It was captioned: "My wedding. Mr and Mrs Bear."

In a previous video, he had introduced Miami to his 300k followers on social media, saying: "I’m in Brazil, I don’t know if you’ve heard. This is my 18-year-old Latina girlfriend, say hello baby."

He has also confirmed the truly heartbreaking news that will ‘never move back to England again’ calling it ‘too miserable’ with ‘too many problems’.

He added that he loves his ‘amazing girlfriend’, now wife, and is ‘fit and healthy’ in Brazil.

Former Love Island star Harrison spoke out about about the sex offender's violation in a recent ITV documentary.

She said: "It really does scare me knowing that I'm potentially going to have to discover this again and watch it back, that moment changed me forever. Having to re-live that and re-watch that, I am scared.

"That's embarrassing to be honest. These men are sitting at home watching this.

"It was a complete and utter violation of me as a person, as a human being, as a woman. This man is literally on the sex offenders register but it's still there.

"How am I ever going to get that off?"
