Summary
- Stephen Bear admitted five counts of failing to notify authorities of travel.
- He taunted police about being on a beach in Brazil.
- Bear was sentenced to 24 weeks in prison for the breaches.
Reality television personality Stephen Bear has been handed a 24-week prison sentence for multiple failures to comply with sex offender register notification rules. At Thames Magistrates' Court, Bear admitted to five counts of not informing authorities about his foreign travel.
During his registration period, Bear reportedly taunted police by boasting about his location on a beach in Brazil. While not considered on the run, his actions breached the terms requiring him to notify officials of any overseas trips.
This latest sentence comes shortly after Bear was already imprisoned. He was jailed on Thursday for admitting to breaching a restraining order that prohibited him from posting online about his former partner, Georgia Harrison.
