Bonnie Blue receives strict punishment following 'BangBus' tour arrest in Bali
Bonnie Blue won't be returning to Bali anytime soon in the wake of her 'BangBus' stunt.
The adult content creator, 26, was booted out of Indonesia by immigration officials earlier this month, which came shortly after authorities got wind of what she planned to get up to during her trip.
She had intended to film risqué content with some 'barely legal' teens and purchased a pickup truck while there, which was branded with the term 'Bonnie Blue's BangBus'.
Police then raided a production studio in Bali and detained 34 people, including Bonnie, on suspicion of producing pornographic content.

This is a big deal in Bali, as pornography is illegal there, and those who violate this law can face hefty fines or up to 12 years behind bars.
Charges weren't pressed against Nottinghamshire-born Bonnie for this, though.
Police inspected Bonnie's phone and said they found 'private video footage' that was for 'private documentation and not for public distribution' - so she dodged that bullet.
However, the Brit, whose real name is Tia Billinger, has faced punishment for swanning around in her 'BangBus'.
A court found her guilty of 'violating traffic regulations by using an open-back truck for goods but carrying people on the open-back truck'.
She was fined 200,000 Indonesian Rupiah (£8.97) as a result, while Bonnie was then deported from Bali for an immigration violation, due to working on a tourist visa.
"While in Bali, Bonnie Blue should have been travelling, but instead she was creating content," police said. "They will be black-listed from entering Indonesia for at least 10 years – [that] could be extended."
Authorities said that after raiding the production studio, they seized a box of condoms, lubricant, flash drives, two sheets of Viagra, and nine ink necklaces.
In a statement shared on Monday (22 December), the acting head of the directorate general of immigration in Bali explained what punishment Bonnie is facing.
Yuldi Yusman said that officials 'found that they entered Indonesia using a visa on arrival for commercial content production that could potentially cause public unrest'.
"Therefore, we imposed a 10-year entry ban because these activities are not in line with the government’s efforts to maintain Bali’s quality tourism image and respect for local cultural values," he announced.
So, if you hadn't gathered, Bonnie has been banned from entering Indonesia for a decade as a result of her latest stunt.
However, she didn't seem too bothered about ruffling feathers in Bali, as she brazenly told social media users that she debated wearing her 'Schoolies T-shirt' to court before she was deported.
And after arriving back in the UK, she told reporters: "I'm rich and have good lawyers – did you really think I'd face jail time?"
