Bonnie Blue hit with $12 fine, 10-year Bali ban after ‘Bangbus’ arrest; British porn star avoids 15 years in prison and $542,000 fine

British adult film star Bonnie Blue has been fined $12 and banned from entering Bali for 10 years following her arrest linked to the alleged 'Bangbus' incident, according to multiple media reports. Indonesian authorities have taken a firm stance, with the case drawing widespread attention online. Beyond the immediate fine and travel ban, the situation could worsen significantly. If found guilty under local laws, Bonnie Blue reportedly faces the possibility of up to 15 years in prison and a fine of roughly $542,000. The case highlights Indonesia’s strict legal approach to public morality and content-related offenses, with more severe penalties if minors are involved.

Blue rose to prominence after a documentary about her OnlyFans career claimed she had sex with 1,057 men in 12 hours. According to News.com.au, she was arrested last week at a studio villa in the Balinese suburb of Pererenan over allegations of producing pornographic content, an activity that is illegal to create or even view in Indonesia.

BONNIE BLUE FINED FOR VIOLATING TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

The British national, whose real name is Tia Billinger, was later fined over the misuse of a blue pickup truck she purchased in Indonesia and named the 'Bangbus', reported Metro. The 26-year-old was arrested while touring the island in the vehicle, which authorities said was being used to transport people despite being designated for goods.

After arriving in Bali, Billinger posted on social media inviting young men to meet her, referencing 'Schoolies', an Australian tradition where recent high school graduates - typically around 18 - celebrate with a party-filled trip. Billinger appeared at Denpasar District Court alongside two British men and one Australian, arriving in a white BMW SUV before taking a seat with the group. The court fined her 200,000 Indonesian rupiah ($12 approx) for violating traffic regulations by carrying passengers in an open-back truck.

BONNIE BLUE AVOIDS 15-YEAR PRISON TERM

If she was convicted under Indonesia’s Law Number 44 of 2008 on pornography, Blue could face up to 15 years in prison and a fine of as much as 6 billion rupiah, roughly $542,000. However, the person who reported the alleged offenses told News.com.au that securing a conviction was challenging, noting that police would need to catch her in the act with cameras actively recording, and authorities arrived just moments before.

According to Metro, police said they raided a property on the island and discovered Blue filming a game involving 17 male tourists. According to reports, officers seized multiple cameras, lubricant, condoms, Viagra pills, 19 outfits labeled 'School Bonnie Blue', and her vehicle known as the 'Bangbus'.

A police spokesperson told local outlet Kumparan News, as quoted by Metro, that the group was creating collaborative content centered on a game in which the winner would sleep with Bonnie Blue.

Investigators also reviewed videos recorded at a hotel in the Berawa area but said they found no evidence of pornography or illegal distribution in that material.
