A British man was arrested in Bali with pornography and drugs, Indonesian authorities said on Tuesday, after UK media reported he was allegedly selling explicit videos of himself online to fund an extravagant lifestyle on the resort island.
Immigration official Amran Aris said that Terrence David Murrell, 31, is believed to be wanted by police in the UK.

Authorities cited a British media report that Murrell, a model and bodybuilder, fled the UK to avoid a prison sentence for selling steroids.
Murrell was paraded at a news conference on Tuesday, where Aris described pornography on the suspect’s cellphone as “deviant”.

Indonesia, a socially conservative country, has strict laws against narcotics and the production and distribution of pornography.
“About his pornographic content, I did not say that it was made in Bali,” Aris said.
“I don’t know that it was Indonesia or Thailand and the place where the crime was committed needs further police investigation.”
Murrell was arrested on Sunday in Bali, the top tourist destination in Indonesia, and had overstayed his Indonesian tourist visa by more than 150 days.

He tested positive for drugs, Aris said, and also had various paraphernalia for drug use.
“We are still investigating the porn content, including digital forensic examinations to prove pornography law violation,” said Denpasar chief police detective Wayan Artha Ariawan.
“At this moment, he could face immigration violation and illegal drugs use (charges).”

This picture taken on May 10, 2019 shows childen, whose parents were suicide bombers or those directly involved in terror plots, attending a religious function during the holy fashing month of Ramadan, in a mosque at a safe house in Jakarta. - Thrown off a motorbike as her parents blew themselves up, nine-year-old Mila -- a name given by AFP to protect her identity -- was the sole survivor of a family suicide bombing, part of a wave of such attacks involving children that rocked Indonesia. Orphaned and radicalised, there were concerns for her future after the Islamic State-inspired strike, but a renewed focus on rehabilitating the children of terror suspects may offer Mila, and others like her, a chance at normality.

Hes really worried about the current situation and he warned Tee many times to be really careful when hes going out since dress like that you can get harassed or killed.  Tee was diagnosed HIV-positive in 2010 and Dondu, who doesnt have the virus, has helped him to take care of his health ever since.[07APRIL2019 FEATURE POST MAGAZINE]CREDIT: Thomas Cristofoletti / Ruom
