Reality TV personality Stephen Bear has been jailed for 16 months.
This follows repeated breaches of a restraining order against his ex-partner, Georgia Harrison.
Stephen Bear was found to have posted about Ms Harrison on social media between March and July 2025, despite a court order banning him from doing so.
The posts, which appeared on platforms including Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, included degrading comments and calls for others to target Ms Harrison online.
Following the hearing, reflecting on the original case and Wednesday’s sentence, Georgia said: “Essex Police took me seriously when so many women in my position are overlooked.
“They treated this as the serious crime it is - not a celebrity story. It is a real offence against a real person.
“They built the case properly, they stayed with it, and when the order was breached, they acted instead of shrugging. From the messages I get every day, I know how rare that still is.
“If every force treated this the way Essex Police did, thousands of women would feel safer today."
Senior Crown Prosecutor Andrew Young said: "Restraining orders are imposed by the courts to protect victims.
"Breaching them is a criminal offence which we will not hesitate to prosecute with the full force of the law.

"Over several months, Stephen Bear launched a campaign of abuse against Georgia Harrison MBE on his social media channels.
"He used his platforms to amplify abuse and encourage others to target her, despite being expressly prohibited from doing so.
"No woman should be made to live in fear because someone refuses to accept the restrictions placed on them by a court.
"Stephen Bear may have hidden behind a screen, but his actions had real-world consequences.
"The CPS will always seek to prosecute those who threaten, harass or intimidate women and girls, whether that behaviour takes place in person or online."
The five-year restraining order was imposed in 2023 after Bear was found guilty of disclosing private sexual photographs and films of Ms Harrison with intent to cause distress, and voyeurism.
He had previously been sentenced to 21 months in prison for his crimes.
Despite having his social media accounts removed, Bear continued to use other profiles to post about Ms Harrison.
