Georgia Harrison claimed a lot of people related to her traumatic revenge porn case because it’s ‘so common.’
The Love Island star’s ex, Bear, was jailed for 21 months for sharing a private sex video of them on his OnlyFans website.
Bear earned money from the clip, which was posted without Georgia’s consent, after she was unaware she was being filmed.
The 33-year-old was also given a restraining order to not contact Harrison for five years, and will be subject to notification requirements for 10 years after signing the sex offenders register.
Harrison issued a powerful statement following the sentencing, admitting she was ‘happy and relieved’ it was ‘finally over.’
In today’s installment of Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, the 28-year-old TV personality said: ‘My case in general has really shocked the British public, but it is such a common thing – so common.

‘Ever since this happened to me I became someone that victims reach out to, and I get at least five women a day – usually victims but sometimes mothers of victims or family members who want advice.’
She continued: ‘You just wouldn’t believe how big this is and how many people are being affected by it.’
Harrison previously described Bear of having made ‘a mockery’ of the trial, as he repeatedly showed up to court in a rented Rolls Royce, dressed in furs and carrying a cane.

On the morning of his sentencing, he sang to reporters and took selfies outside the court.
