In a significant development at Chelmsford Crown Court today, Stephen Bear has been ordered to pay a Confiscation Order totalling £22,305, aimed at retrieving the illicit gains he amassed from publishing explicit content to a subscription site without the consent of those involved.
The court also ruled that a portion of the funds, amounting to £5,000, should be allocated for compensation to the victim, Georgia Harrison. This restitution will be drawn from any monies paid towards the Confiscation Order.
