Anton stands by Georgia to face sick ex
DIY porn ghoul worth only £60k, judge is told
Reality star Georgia Harrison was supported by Scots love island partner anton Danyluk as she faced disgraced ex Stephen Bear in court.
Bear appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court in essex for a confiscation hearing after his conviction for voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films of Georgia with intent to cause distress.
His previous hearing in January was adjourned so she could finish filming love Island: All Stars in South Africa.
Georgia and Anton, both 29, met on the show and their relationship sparked debate among viewers, with many branding it fake.
But the couple have continued to spend time together since arriving back in the UK, with Airdrie gym boss Anton sticking by her side.
Celebrity big brother 2016 winner bear, 34, was jailed on March 3 last year and spent 10 months behind bars before his release on January 14. He was found to have made £22,305.46 from the CCTV footage of him and Georgia having sex in a garden on August 2, 2020, at a time when he was posing as a “billionaire” on twitter.
Prosecutor Andrew bousfield said: “Despite pretending to be a billionaire, his most valuable asset at the time was selling sexual videos”. His main asset then was £60,000 in owning his house, the court heard.
His onlyfans subscriber count was said to have jumped 43 per cent as a result of the video, with the footage being available to subscribers behind a $9.99 (£7.84) paywall. Some 273 subscribers bought the video and, after a 20 per cent cut to onlyfans, this earned him £1650.98, the court heard.
After the video was posted, he adjusted his subscription fee from a range of $7.50 (£5.89) to $50 (£39.28).
Judge Christopher Morgan said it was difficult to know exactly how much bear had made.
He said: “He had, by the time the account had been set up, filmed himself and Georgia Harrison, that material being the subject of the criminal charges that he faced.
“The defendant plainly intended that that material would be placed onto his onlyfans account.”
His defence barrister in the second hearing said: “He doesn’t have a car to his name – we ask for a modest financial penalty.
“There seems to be little purpose in hammering him with a significant financial penalty.
“As of today, there isn’t employment and there isn’t a guaranteed contract (of employment), but certainly the impression is he’s dedicated to making a lawful professional career.”
Judge Morgan acknowledged that he had “no certain or paid employment” but was satisfied bear could pay the money.
He was ordered to pay a £500 fine and £4707.05 in costs in 56 days and could face a seven-day prison sentence if he fails to pay the fine.
