Adult performer Bonnie Blue has been informed of the consequences stemming from her provocative ‘BangBus’ incident in Indonesia.
The British performer was detained on December 5 along with more than a dozen male tourists under suspicion of producing explicit content in Bali.
Reports indicate that her ‘BangBus’ sex tour, which called for male participants between the ages of 19 and 40, led to her legal troubles in the Indonesian province and subsequent arrest.
In addition to detaining the bus, authorities confiscated lubricant, condoms, viagra pills, and costumes. The former OnlyFans star, known legally as Tia Billinger, was interrogated by immigration officials.
If charged and convicted, Billinger was informed she might face a 15-year prison sentence and a substantial fine of around 6 billion rupiah (approximately $360,000).
However, the 26-year-old appears to have received a lighter sentence as Ngurah Rai Immigration Office stated she will be deported to the UK and barred from returning for at least ten years, though she might still face legal proceedings regarding the van purchase.
During a press conference, immigration chief Heru Winarko explained that Billinger and her group violated the terms of their tourist visas.
“They have misused the visa they have to make content in Bali,” Winarko commented.
“They will be black-listed from entering Indonesia for at least 10 years (that) could be extended.”
Billinger and her three male associates are expected to be deported once police complete their investigation.
“Once police has finished with the investigation, after that we will deport them and put them (on) the blacklist,” Winarko stated.
Badung Police mentioned that Billinger and her group might still face charges over the acquisition of the blue ‘Bangbus’ for allegedly not having vehicle registration, as reported by detikBali.
Additionally, one of the two British men accompanying her is also accused of driving without an international license while operating the van, which was seen in various social media videos.
“While in Bali, BB (Bonnie Blue) should have been travelling, but instead she was creating content,” Badung Police Chief, Arif Batubara, remarked.
He added that the purchase of the pickup truck for content creation could also be considered unlawful.
Billinger and the British man are scheduled to appear in Denpasar District Court on Friday (December 12).
As of the latest update, the alleged 17 participants, including 14 Australians, were reportedly released on Saturday (December 6) after being interviewed as witnesses and were not charged.
Officials stated those questioned ‘admitted’ to their intention to ‘participate in the production of the reality show content.’
They also noted that immigration officials are investigating possible residence permit violations and have seized their passports.
