Georgia Harrison reveals she has found love again with a mystery man
GEORGIA Harrison has revealed she is in a relationship with a mystery man.
The former Love Island star has been through hell the past two years after former pal Stephen Bear leaked a sex tape featuring her online without her consent.
This week Bear was found guilty of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films following a Crown Court trial.
In an exclusive interview, Georgia tells us she is now rebuilding her life with her new partner and work has started to come back in for her after a number of brands dropped her in the aftermath of the leak.
She is also determined to help other people affected by what she has been through and will support the Revenge Porn charity in any way she can.
Georgia says: “At the time the tape first came out I had about three women a day contacting me saying it had happened to them.
“Now it is around two to three a week. I’ve even had women coming up to me in the street in tears.
“Revenge porn is a crime that affects so many people.
“We are living in a time where so much of our lives and our children’s lives are spent online and it is so important that individuals are protected in the virtual world just as they are in reality.
“Social media has given us the egalitarian belief that we are all publishers but what it hasn’t done is regulate what we should responsibly publish.
“I am calling on the government to do more to hold social media companies to account. They need to help people who fall victim to this and act quickly to help them.
“These videos ruin lives and the social media companies are the ones who are profiting off it.
“This has to change.”
Bear, who turned up to Chelmsford Crown Court during his trial in a hired Rolls-Royce and wearing flamboyant suits, will be sentenced on January 31.
