A controversial British adult film star faces deportation from Indonesia’s resort island of Bali for violating immigration laws after she was arrested on suspicion of making pornographic online content, police said on Thursday.
Local police last week raided a studio in the popular tourist hub of Badung near the island’s capital, Denpasar, detaining Bonnie Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger.

Three men – two Britons and an Australian – were also detained after police received a tip-off from a “concerned citizen”, local police chief Muhammad Arif Batubara said.

“We are conducting a joint investigation regarding activities involving alleged criminal acts of pornography or … material that violates decency,” Arif told journalists in Denpasar.

“We will immediately take firm action, deport them, and submit them for blacklisting,” said Bali airport immigration chief Winarko, who goes by one name.

Police and immigration officials said so far they could not find any evidence that the group had made pornographic material.
