Bonnie Blue and 14 Aussies Snared in Bali Raid
British adult star Bonnie Blue, real name Tia Billinger, is set to be summoned for an interview with Bali immigration officials within 48 hours, as authorities decide her fate. The 26-year-old was arrested in a Friday raid alongside nearly 20 Australian and British nationals. Her infamous, untaxed “Bonnie Blue Bangbus” truck was also seized during the swoop.
Aussie Tourists Keep a Low Profile During Interviews
Fourteen Australian men aged 19 to 40 were interviewed by immigration officers on Monday near Kuta. Many hid their faces—some even using McDonald’s bags—to avoid the media spotlight. Officials confirmed these men are currently regarded as witnesses and are expected to return home once investigations conclude.
Allegations of Illegal Porn Production Under Indonesia’s Strict Laws
Bonnie Blue reportedly faces allegations of producing pornographic material, a serious offence under Indonesia’s tough morality laws. The Australians were released the same day with no charges, though their passports remain confiscated. Billinger was allowed to leave Bali on Saturday morning but will be questioned again alongside two British men and one Aussie later this week.
Investigation Ongoing: What’s Next for Bonnie and the Aussies?
Ngurah Rai Immigration official Raja Ulul Azmy told the Daily Mail: “They (the 14 Australians) will be allowed to return home after we finish the examination.” He confirmed Billinger entered Bali on a tourist visa and revealed Bali authorities are working with police to deepen the probe into her activities on the island.
The Australian men reportedly didn’t travel or stay together, suggesting their only connection might be social media. Whether any of them face charges hinges on if they participated in making commercial porn content or stirred up public unrest.
Social Media Storm and Schoolies Controversy
Billinger promoted her Bali trip on social media, targeting recent Aussie school leavers and ‘barely legal’ teens attending Schoolies events — despite being barred from entering Australia in November 2024. The trip was advertised as a meet-up, adding fuel to the controversy surrounding her Bali visit.
Authorities Weigh Up The Next Move
Raja Ulul said: “We are still reviewing the investigation results. If the group made commercial content, charges could be laid. If not, they may face no problems.” The ongoing case remains under scrutiny, with cooperation between immigration and police authorities.
