Bonnie Blue was allegedly playing a sex game that was being recorded for social media when she was arrested in Bali, police claim.
The British sex worker and a group of 17 male tourists, aged between 19 and 40, were taken into custody on Thursday afternoon following a raid of a studio in Badung.
Now Badung Police have shared details from the dramatic raid, claiming a sex game where the “winner would sleep with Bonnie Blue” was being played as it happened.
“When they were raided, they were making collab content about a game, where the winner would sleep with Bonnie Blue,” said Acting Head of the Public Relations Sub-Division of the Badung Police, Aiptu Ni Nyoman Ayu Inastuti, local Bali news outlet Kumparan News reports.
“No pornographic activities or acts have been found in the collaborative content.”
It comes after an Australian comedian known for his crude social media jokes has emerged as one of the blokes arrested alongside Blue in Bali for allegedly filming pornographic content.
Comedian Julian Woods, who is originally from Brisbane, was taken into custody last week.
While 14 Aussie blokes were released without charge shortly after, Woods is one of the main targets in a probe into the controversial sexfluencer’s ill-fated “BangBus” tour, the Courier Mail reports.
Woods, alongside 26-year-old Blue and two other British male tourists, have remained on the Indonesian island as officials investigate the alleged illegal activity.
Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger, is “was released Saturday, is co-operating with authorities and the police are continuing to investigate,” Blue’s spokesperson told news.com.au.
The case is still ongoing.
None of the group, who entered the country on tourist visas, has been charged. Their passports have been confiscated.
Photos obtained by the News Corp publication show Blue looking downcast outside Badung Police Station wearing a plain-outfit, a far cry from her usual online appearance.
While another shot shows Woods, who describes himself as “Australia’s number one biological male” in his Instagram bio, on a crowded street surrounded by a slew of other men.
If prosecuted and found guilty under the law, Blue faces up to 15 years imprisonment in Indonesia and fines up to 6 billion rupiah (approximately $541,000), which are the maximum penalties.
Philo Dellano, a managing partner at the PNB Immigration, a law firm in Jakarta specialising in helping foreigners deal with Indonesian immigration and legal matters, told news.com.au that if found guilty, Blue will likely be deported and banned from ever entering Indonesia again rather than prosecuted and imprisoned.
“She is being detained by the police, which means they can proceed to prosecute her,” Dellano said.
“But in my opinion, if there is an ‘invisible hand’ that requests that she be deported, she can be transferred to the nearest immigration office, from where she will be deported from Indonesia.”
Plans for Blue and the three other men at the centre of the investigation are currently in the midst of a 48-hour interrogation process.
The 14 Aussie men who were released previously have already been interviewed by authorities at an office in Jimbaran, near Kuta, on Monday.
Badung Police Chief, Arif Batubara, said action was taken after the public reported the alleged creation of an pornographic video.
Indonesia has strict “morality” laws that ban an array of disrespectful acts, including public nudity and engaging in sexual activities outside of marriage.
One of the individuals who claims to have ratted out the infamous sex worker said he did it because the local community was in shock at Blue’s Schoolie’s antics.
“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,” the anonymous individual said.
Following the initial arrests, police and a team of officers from the Immigration department raided a location in Pererenan Village, Mengwi District, described by the Bali Express as “an obscene video studio”.
It is suspected of being used to produce “content containing pornographic or immoral elements”.
Badung Police also seized Blue’s “bang bus” as part of its investigation, as well as a number of other items, including several cameras, condoms, sexual enhancement pills and USB drives.
“Investigators found several cameras and several contraceptive devices,” Police Chief Batubara told detikBali.
It comes after Blue was banned from Australia last year after her “barely legal” Schoolies stunt garnered public outcry.
As she couldn’t enter Australia for Schoolies, the adult content creator – known for “rage baiting” – attended events in Bali where she posted call outs to school leavers holidaying in the area.
“Hey boys, those who are going to Schoolies, and those that are barely legal, cannot wait to meet you,” she said in one post.
“I’m in Bali so you know exactly what that means.”
Footage of her driving around in the blue pick-up truck with young men subsequently circulated on social media.
Blue was banned from Australia on the grounds of allegations that she intended to contravene her 12-month visa by working.
However, she recently hinted that she’d found a way to get around the legal restrictions, telling A Current Affair: “I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say, I’ve got good lawyers and I will be doing schoolies this year.”
However, news.com.au revealed that wasn’t true at all, and the branded bus – which was seen all over the Gold Coast recently – didn’t actually have her inside it.
