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.
“I shut him out of my mind for a long time and it’s not fair that he’s managed to crawl his way back in,” she said.
Bear arrived for Thursday’s sentencing with his wife, who is eight months pregnant.
As he walked in to court, he refused to answer questions but gave a thumbs-up and said: “Wish me luck guys. See you soon, hopefully.”
As his barrister spoke about why there should be a reduced sentence, Bear appeared to briefly cry.
He shook his head as he was taken away to begin another prison term.
