The individual who reported Bonnie Blue to the police has offered a defense for their decision and elaborated on the reasons behind involving the authorities.
Bonnie Blue, a controversial British adult entertainer, is frequently in the news, and her recent actions might have led her into serious trouble.
Tia Billinger, known professionally as Bonnie Blue, was detained on December 5 along with 17 male tourists, whose ages range from 19 to 40.
Blue is suspected of trying to create explicit content in Bali, which is against the law in Indonesia due to its stringent regulations. Allegedly, she was traveling in a vehicle referred to as a ‘BangBus’ with these men as part of her explicit tour.
Should Blue face legal action, she could be subject to a 15-year prison sentence and substantial fines under the nation’s anti-pornography statutes.
The person who alerted the police about Blue is an expatriate residing in Bali and communicated with news.com.au while maintaining anonymity. In their conversation with the publication, they detailed what prompted them to involve law enforcement.
They stated: “The way we tracked her wasn’t particularly complicated; we just followed her through her gang bang bus.
“But the cops, at first, they couldn’t even understand what [was happening]. We had to explain it to them, that there are about 20 guys [and Blue]. They just couldn’t comprehend it.
“But once we explained to them that she’s driving around in the ‘gang bang bus’ and that she was bragging about sleeping with Schoolies, some of who were barely legal … and that the footage was going to go worldwide afterwards, they confirmed that the activity was illegal [and took action].”
The reporter is cognizant of the discussions circulating on social media concerning their intervention.
The individual emphasized their desire not to have Bonnie Blue’s actions associated with Bali.
They remarked: “Why do I care? I am not a prude, (and) I am not judging her. But ‘Bonnie Blue’s Bali Gang Bang’ is not where we want to be reputation-wise. Bali is not Thailand. Bali is not the Philippines. The business community doesn’t want it, the expat community doesn’t want it, and the local community can’t even comprehend it.”
“Pornography is illegal here, producing pornography is illegal here, working without a proper permit is illegal here, and we don’t want Bonnie Blue’s Gang Bang from Bali being posted and shared around the world. Bali doesn’t need that kind of publicity.”
They acknowledged that by raising the issue, they inadvertently brought attention to Bali but noted that it was essential to demonstrate that her alleged activities were against the law.
