Police in Bali have not released new information following the arrest of controversial OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue and 17 male tourists last week. Fifteen of the Australians detained were later released. Authorities suspect Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger, of violating Indonesia’s strict anti-pornography laws.
The NY posted reported that, if convicted, she could face up to 15 years in prison and fines reaching 6 billion rupiah, or about $541,000. Blue became known internationally after participating in a documentary in which she claimed to have sex with 1,057 men within 12 hours.
Police confiscated a large collection of equipment during the raid. Officers seized professional video cameras, large quantities of contraceptives and erectile drugs, and a blue utility vehicle branded as “Bonnie Blue’s BangBus.” Authorities also flagged content from her Instagram account, where she appeared to solicit adult participants aged 18 and over during Bali’s schoolies period. The investigation began after community members raised concerns.

— New York Post (@nypost) December 8, 2025Jakarta-based immigration lawyer Philo Dellano said Blue may not face full prosecution despite the severity of Indonesia’s pornography laws. He noted that authorities often deport foreigners in similar cases. According to Dellano, deportation can occur if influential parties push for that outcome.
He said Blue’s detention allows police to proceed with charges, but she could still be transferred to immigration authorities and removed from the country. Dellano suggested she may have chosen Bali, knowing that deportation is often the outcome when adult-industry content creators run into trouble. He added that authorities may wait until media attention declines before making a final decision.

Dellano said Bali has handled several cases involving foreign nationals accused of producing adult content. Outcomes depend on the circumstances and any behind-the-scenes influence involved. An American woman was deported in September after hosting an “Intimacy Mastery Retreat” in Seminyak. Her event violated visa rules and local cultural norms.

Bali-based lawyer Krist Andi Ricardo Turnip said Blue could still face criminal charges. He emphasised that foreign nationals must follow Indonesian law under the principle of territoriality. Violating the Pornography Law could lead to a prison sentence of up to 12 years. Depending on the evidence, officials may also apply Indonesia’s Electronic Information and Transactions Law or criminal code provisions related to public decency.
