A new development has emerged regarding adult content creator Bonnie Blue, who has been detained abroad due to her alleged provocative act.
The well-known British celebrity was taken into custody on December 5, alongside 17 male tourists aged from 19 to 40, under allegations of producing explicit content in Bali, which violates Indonesia’s stringent regulations.
The alleged ‘BangBus’ sex tour seems to have caused significant issues with the Balinese authorities, leading to Blue’s arrest, whose real name is Tia Billinger. The van used in the tour was also confiscated under the strict anti-pornography laws in place.
Badung Police Chief Arif Batubara released a statement explaining that the arrests were made after a citizen reported ‘suspected pornography or the creation of indecent video material.’
The seized items reportedly include lubricant, condoms, viagra pills, and 19 costumes labeled ‘School Bonnie Blue.’
Immigration officials are expected to question the OnlyFans creator within the next 48 hours.
If tried and convicted, Billinger, known for her previous stunt of engaging in sexual activities with over 1,000 men in 12 hours, may face up to 15 years in an Indonesian prison and a substantial fine of approximately 6 billion rupiah (around $360,000).
However, Philo Dellano, a managing partner at an immigration law firm in Jakarta, suggests that the 26-year-old is more likely to face deportation and a potential ban from re-entering Indonesia.
“She is being detained by the police, which means they can proceed to prosecute her,” Dellano stated to News.com.au. “But in my opinion, if there is an ‘invisible hand’ that requests that she be deported, she can be transferred to the nearest immigration office, from where she will be deported from Indonesia.”
The incident has resulted in the release of Billinger’s alleged participants, including a group of 14 Australians, who were let go on December 6 after being questioned as witnesses.
As reported by an immigration official from Ngurah Rai to the Daily Mail, the group is expected to be able to return home shortly: “They (the 14 Australians) will be allowed to go back to their country after we finish the examination.”
The official added: “We will be deepening the investigation to check her activity during her time in Bali and work jointly with police.”
When questioned about the possibility of charges against three other men being interviewed, the official responded: “If they did not make commercial content, maybe that’s not a problem. If they make commercial content, we could charge them.
“We could also check whether it has created unrest in the community or not.”
The authorities have also confiscated the adult creator’s professional video equipment and her Instagram account, which featured invitations for those over 18 to join her ‘Bangbus’ for adult content creation, particularly targeting young Australians during their Schoolies graduation celebrations.
