Georgia Harrison makes a plea to PM Andy Burnham for a 'kill switch' to immediately remove non-consensual intimate images from the internet rather than the current 48 hours

Georgia Harrison has proposed that unconsented intimate images should be removed from the internet with immediate effect rather than the current 48 hour window.The former Love Island star, 31, made her plea for a new law during a meeting with Prime Minister Andy Burnham, after she was the victim of non-consensual intimate-image abuse by Stephen Bear, her former partner.The reality personality told the PM she has first hand experience of what damage the current 48 hour window can have if the images are permitted to remain online.Georgia sat down with Mr Burnham last week to put forward the idea for her new law, which would see the images immediately taken down as soon as they were reported.Reflecting on the 'life changing devastation that can happen,' Georgia told Mr Burnham it should be considered with the same level of severity as terrorist abuse material as well as child sexual abuse material.Georgia explains: 'I'm currently working on hopefully launching a new law. When it comes to intimate image abuse, currently if a woman or man has an unconsented picture on any sort of social media platform, when they report it they then have to wait 48 hours for that footage to come down. That's two whole days. Georgia Harrison has proposed that unconsented intimate images should be removed from the internet with immediate effect rather than the current 48 hour window The former Love Island star, 31, made her plea for a new law during a meeting with Prime Minister Andy Burnham , after she was the victim of non-consensual intimate-image abuse by Stephen Bear , her former partner'As someone who has experienced those two days and the damage and life changing devastation that can happen, I just don't think it's right and when you look at terrorist abuse material as well as child sexual abuse material, it doesn't take two days for that to come down and the government promised they would treat intimate image abuse, just as seriously.'So what I would like is if something is unconsented, you literally pause it, report it and straight away it comes down and then the onus is on the person who uploaded it to prove that it was consented. 'If they can prove it was consented, then it can go back up and if they can't it stays down and the evidence gets sent to the victim so they can use it in court if they feel like they want to in future and I would like to call it Georgia's Law because a woman at 3 in the morning doesn't search an act of parliament, she's searching a name.'So my final question to you, is do you think the benefit of doubt should be given to the person in the picture or the person who took it?'Andy replied: 'Of course it should be the former, it's clearly the right principle, non consented images should not be in broad circulation around the system.'He continued by saying while he does support the law, there is currently no plan to implement the bill with immediate effect. Andy said: 'Now I can't, again I'm going to be honest with you, while I support Georgia's Law, I can't say to you right we can implement this now and there's this bill in parliament, I can't say that. The reality personality told the PM she has first hand experience of what damage the current 48 hour window can have if the images are permitted to remain online'But I can say to you that I agree with everything you're trying to achieve, and the young women, let's be honest it could be men, but it's majority women, the young women that you are trying to protect and support their mental health, I'm with you in seeing if we can make that happen. Let's work together on it is all I'll say.'Georgia said: 'I appreciate that.'Andy told her: 'No problem.'She added: 'You're so easy to talk to, and very genuine and I'm so excited that you're running our country.'Alongside a video of their meeting, Georgia wrote: 'I asked the Prime Minister to help me make Georgia's Law a reality. 'This week I had the opportunity to sit down with our new Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street — and I finally got to put Georgia's Law directly on the table.'The idea is simple: a 'kill switch' that could help victims of intimate image abuse stop their content from being repeatedly shared and viewed online.'Right now, once an intimate image is out there, victims can be left feeling like they're fighting an endless battle to get it back under control. I know what that feels like.Stephen Bear - pictured in a police mugshot - was handed a five-year restraining order in 2023 and jailed for sharing a private sex tape of Georgia'Georgia's Law is still at the very beginning, but having the Prime Minister listen to the idea and say he'd be willing to work with me on it feels like a pretty amazing way to get the ball rolling.'There's a long way to go, but if we can make this work, I genuinely believe it could give victims something incredibly important back — control.'Going from fighting to get my own images removed to sitting in Downing Street fighting for a solution for everyone else is a moment I'll never forget. Now the real work starts.'Stephen Bear was jailed last month after admitting five counts of failing to comply with sex offender register requirements.Bear was sentenced to 24 weeks in prison at Thames Magistrates' Court, barely a week after being handed a 16-month sentence for repeatedly breaching a restraining order against Georgia.The disgraced reality TV star, 36, was handed a five-year restraining order and jailed for 21 months in 2023 for sharing a sex tape of Georgia on his OnlyFans page.A judge also ordered him to repay £22,305 that prosecutors said he earned from his subscribers. But after his release from prison, Bear breached his order by repeatedly posting degrading comments about Ms Harrison on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X and YouTube.He also failed to comply with his sex offender notification requirements. He did not inform police about a trip to Brazil last year and then failed to tell officers within three days that he had returned to the UK.He also failed to mention that he had acquired a new passport and two bank cards during the trip.
