Adult content creator Tia Billinger, known professionally as Bonnie Blue, is set to be deported from Indonesia after being found guilty of immigration offenses, authorities confirmed on Friday.
The 26-year-old British social media star, who was detained in Bali as part of a high-profile investigation, was ultimately cleared of violating Indonesia’s strict anti-pornography laws.
Billinger was among 34 people detained when police raided a production studio in Bali, following an investigation into suspected pornographic activity.
While the production of pornography is strictly prohibited in Muslim-majority Indonesia and carries severe penalties (up to 12 years in prison and $360,000 in fines), investigators found no evidence that the group had produced indecent material.
Instead, Billinger will be removed from the country for an immigration offense: working as a content creator on a tourist visa, which violates Indonesian law.
She was found guilty of a minor traffic offense and fined Rp 200,000 (approximately $12/£9).
She is scheduled to leave Indonesia on a flight just after midnight local time.
Immigration officials are expected to issue a statement regarding their request to blacklist her from re-entering the country.
Badung Police Chief M. Arif Batubara confirmed that despite NAIJAONPOINT es claiming they had gathered to participate in an “entertainment-themed reality show” where “no indecent material was produced,” the focus shifted to visa misuse.
Police stated that Billinger and three other foreign nationals, identified as having “dominant roles” in the production, are suspected of “misusing their stay permits” to work on commercial content.
Investigators had reviewed the purchase of a pickup truck branded with “Bonnie Blue” and “Bang Bus” and questioned the individuals over their awareness of Indonesia’s pornography ban, which they reportedly confirmed they knew was illegal.
