OnlyFans Creator Bonnie Blue Detained in Bali
British OnlyFans content creator Bonnie Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger, has been detained in Bali following a law enforcement raid on a holiday property in Kuta on December 5. The raid targeted the production of sexually explicit content, leading to the seizure of various items including filming equipment and a vehicle prominently labeled "Bonnie Blue's BangBus."
Background of Bonnie Blue's Career Shift to OnlyFans
Bonnie Blue, 26, transitioned to creating content on OnlyFans after a stint in recruitment and webcam modeling in the UK. She gained significant attention on the platform claiming to have broken the world record by engaging with 1,057 men in a 12-hour period, a figure supposedly surpassing the previous record held by Lisa Sparxxx.
Legal Troubles Stem from Anti-Pornography Laws
The Indonesian authorities, under the guidance of Badung Police Chief Arif Batubara, are investigating potential violations of Indonesia's rigorous anti-pornography Law Number 44 of 2008. This law stipulates that the production or distribution of pornographic material can attract imprisonment of up to 15 years and fines amounting to 6 billion rupiah (over USD $500,000).
Promotional Event Drawing Legal Attention
Blue had promoted an event geared towards the Schoolies week celebrations, expressly inviting individuals over 18 to participate in a filming session. This event, in conjunction with her Instagram promotions, caught the eye of local residents and law enforcement, leading to the raid.
Detainment and Investigation Status
While several others detained during the raid were released, Bonnie Blue along with a 28-year-old Australian and two British nationals continues to be held in custody as the investigation proceeds. Indonesian law experts indicate that the ongoing investigations might lead to either prosecution or deportation based on the findings.
Impact of Strict Local Regulations on Foreign Visitors
This incident underscores the strict moral and legal standards enforced by Indonesian law on both locals and foreigners. The consequences faced by Bonnie Blue highlight the cultural and legal clashes often encountered by visiting foreigners engaging in activities deemed inappropriate by Indonesian standards.
