“You left Miss Harrison, I’m afraid, at the mercy of any individual who had aligned themselves with your lies.”
In addition to the prison sentence, the judge extended the restraining order to stop Bear from contacting Harrison’s mother and her friend, which remains in place until a new order is imposed.
After serving half his original sentence, Bear was released from prison, but between 1 March 2025 and 21 July 2025 began posting on Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube and Facebook about the case and Harrison.
The court heard these were “consistently posted messages of the most abhorrent and harmful type”.
Addressing Bear, the judge said: “What you did in that three to four-month period is simply victim-blaming.”
Harrison did not attend court, but the prosecution read out a statement in which she described feeling isolated, exposed and unsafe, and asked for the restraining order to be extended.
She said the significant stress had made her worry about her unborn child and caused her to “spiral” on some occasions.
