But despite being convicted in 2022 and being sentenced to 21 months in prison, and slapped with a five year restraining order, her long running and gruelling public humiliation was far from over.

Even after he was Bear was released early in 2024 from Brixton jail for his sick crimes against Georgia he embarked on yet another deranged campaign of abuse against her on social media. Now, Georgia has spoken to Burnham about how best to tackle the important issue and shared the groundbreaking interview on Instagram. In the caption of her post, she said: “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.” Most read in The Sun Georgia has become a strong advocate after her own personal experiences Credit: Instagram/georgialouiseharrison Now a mum she is continuing to raise awareness of online abuse As it stands, any non-consensual intimate images must be taken down within 48 hours, after the Crime and Policing Act 2026 was passed on April 29. If platforms fail to comply they could face fines of up to 10% of their revenue — pretty hefty considering Meta alone made £149 million in revenue in 2025. Companies could also be blocked from operating in the UK. And Georgia is hoping to cut this 2-day period down to being removed immediately. She added: “As a girl who has experienced what can happen in that two days, I just don’t think it’s good enough.” But she suggests implementing a law that means the content has to be on “pause” while it’s reviewed. “I want to have a kill switch,” she says. “ So, if there’s intimate image abuse, you report it, it gets paused. Instead of the victim having to fill out a form about how it’s unconsented.” In some posts which were viewed millions of times after his conviction, Bear accused Georgia of being part of a conspiracy against him. He also alleged that the guilty verdict was also a result of this plot against him. The posts, made whilst Georgia was pregnant, featured photos of her alongside defamatory statements which left her distressed and traumatised. Since he had breached the restraining order, Georgia reported him to Essex police who later paid tribute to her courage and dignity throughout the investigation. Last year the Revenge Porn Helpline recorded 22,275 reports of private images being shared online – a rise of 20.9per cent on the previous year. Georgia was awarded an MBE for services to the prevention of violence against women and girls in 2025.
