Harrison, 29, added: “It absolutely horrified me that an individual had done this to me but what most horrified me was that these platforms were hosting these videos that were unconsented.

“For many that I tried to reach out to, I got an automated response saying ‘we will get back to you within four to six days’.”

Bear, from Loughton, Essex, was found guilty of voyeurism and of two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress.

He has been ordered to pay back the £22,305 he made from sharing the video.

Discussing her ordeal, Harrison told MPs: “I feel like one of the biggest challenges in general is these big social media companies who are hosting pornographic images and videos, they don’t have any way of us getting through to them to report it when there is something unconsented there.”

She said videos should be taken down the same day if someone in them said they did not give consent for it to be posted online.

She said: “But I think if something gets to to the level where you say ‘this is me in a sexually explicit act and I have not given permission’, it should be paused that day, not in four to six days.”
