British OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue — real name Tia Billinger — was arrested in Bali on Dec. 5 following a police raid on a rental villa in Pererenan Village. Authorities say the 26-year-old creator was allegedly filming explicit content in violation of Indonesia’s strict anti-pornography laws, which carry potential penalties of up to 15 years in prison and fines reaching 6 billion Indonesian rupiah (roughly £1.5 million).
According to police, the raid was triggered by public complaints after Blue promoted a “Schoolies” tour on social media. The event targeted young adults aged 18 and older traveling to Bali for year-end celebrations, and Blue allegedly invited participants to take part in filming sexually explicit material.
Seventeen male tourists — including 14 Australians and three British men, ages 19 to 40 — were detained alongside her. Officers reportedly seized professional video equipment, condoms, sexual enhancement pills, USB drives and a blue utility vehicle branded “Bonnie Blue’s BangBus.” The 14 Australians were later released without charges, while Blue and the three British men remain under investigation.
Authorities have confiscated Blue’s passport and transferred her to immigration officials for a 48-hour interrogation as they determine whether she will face prosecution or be removed from the country.
Despite the severity of the possible charges, legal experts say a lengthy prison term is unlikely. Philo Dellano, a Jakarta-based immigration attorney, told local media that similar cases involving foreign nationals accused of producing adult content in Bali have often ended in deportation, not prosecution. He noted that officials may wait for public attention to settle before sending Blue home, possibly early next year.
The case follows a recent precedent: a 44-year-old American woman was deported in September 2025 after organizing an adult-themed retreat in Seminyak that violated visa rules and local cultural norms.
Blue has built a reputation for highly controversial stunts and explicit content challenges. She previously claimed to have had sexual encounters with 1,057 men in 12 hours, surpassing a record set in 2004. In 2023, she was banned from Australia after backlash over her “barely legal” Schoolies promotions aimed at recent school leavers. Her Bali appearance came after she suggested online that she had found a way around the ban, though later posts indicated she was using a branded vehicle to promote the trip rather than attending in person.
Indonesian authorities have not yet confirmed whether Blue will face formal charges or be deported. A decision is expected once immigration officials complete their review.
