She wrote on her Instagram story on Saturday: “Don’t even want that face on my stories. But so so so proud of Georgia. Brave and dignified from the beginning.
“Let this be a warning to anyone else thinking they can get away with these kind of crimes.”
Bear, who refused to apologise to Georgia when asked if he had any remorse as he spoke to press while walking into Chelmsford Crown Court, claimed he was not given a fair trial, adding a positive that came out of the trial was him being diagnosed with ADHD, depression and anxiety.
