OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue was arrested in Bali, Indonesia last week on suspicion of producing and distributing pornographic content, which is possible in violation of the country’s strict morality laws, local media reported. Along with her, 17 male tourists – including 15 Australians who have since been released – were also taken into custody, news.com.au reported.
If convicted, Blue faces up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to 6 billion rupiah (around $541,000) under Indonesia’s anti-pornography laws. However, several reports suggest that she will likely be deported. Police did not provide further details about her current condition.
Who is Bonnie Blue?
The 26-year-old British woman, whose real name is Tia Billinger, previously made headlines when she claimed to have slept with 1,057 men in just 12 hours. If true, it would break Lisa Sparxxx’s 2004 record of 919 men in 24 hours.
What led to her arrest?
Blue is accused of promoting the “BangBus” tour in Bali, which included explicit content featuring barely legal Australian “schoolboys”. Police said her group included at least 17 tourists from Britain and Australia aged between 19 and 40.
She announced her visit to Bali on social media and wrote:
“Hey guys, the Schoolies and the barely legal can’t wait to meet you – and I’m in Bali so you know exactly what that means.”
Her actions drew complaints from local authorities who claimed she had hired a bus to travel around Bali filming explicit content during “Schoolies Week”.
What evidence was secured?
Authorities seized cameras, birth control pills and a vehicle labeled “Bonnie Blue’s BangBus” during the raid. Blue’s passport was confiscated and he remains in custody pending further investigation.
Is she facing jail or deportation?
Legal experts believe deportation is more likely than a lengthy prison sentence. Krist Andi Ricardo Turnip, SH, a lawyer at the Malekat Hukum International Law Firm in Bali, told news.com.au: “If found to have created, displayed or distributed pornographic content in Indonesia, the offender could face up to 12 years in prison.
Philo Dellano, Managing Partner at PNB Immigration in Jakarta, said:
“She is detained by the police, which means they can proceed to prosecute her. But in my opinion, if there is an ‘invisible hand’ to apply for deportation, she can be taken to the nearest immigration office to be deported from Indonesia.”
