Twitter reacts to Stephen Bear's x-rated video

UK reality star Stephen Bear could face up to four years in prison in Turkey after sharing an explicit video of girlfriend Jessica Smith performing a sex act on him.

The X-rated clip horrified his Twitter followers when it was posted earlier this week, and has broken the company’s strict rules about sharing explicit footage, which should be flagged up as sensitive content.

The post is currently Bear’s pinned Tweet with the caption “Showers hit different abroad”, with the pair currently holidaying in Turkey.

According to the country‘s strict internet regulations, former Celebrity Big Brother winner Bear has broken two laws by producing an “unnatural sex” video and then sharing it – with the maximum punishment being four years for making it, and three years for putting it on social media.

In April 2015, Turkey’s Constitutional Court ruled it illegal for the production, ownership or distribution of pornographic materials containing “unnatural sexual behaviour”.

The law adds that “any person who produces, conveys into the country, offers for sale, sells, transports, stores or offers for the use of others written or audiovisual materials of sexual acts performed with the use of force, animals, a human corpse, or in any other unnatural manner shall be sentenced to a penalty of imprisonment for a term of one to four years.”
