Police provide major new information as Bonnie Blue faces 15-year sentence for 'BangBus' tour
Police have provided a major update on Bonnie Blue after the controversial content creator was arrested in Bali last week.
The pornographic actress, whose real name is Tia Billinger, is never far from causing dispute over her extreme videos, which have seen her allegedly sleep with 1,000 men in just one day, all of which was captured in an extreme documentary about her life on Channel 4.
Blue, a 26-year-old who originally hails from Nottingham, regularly targets young people in her videos, whether it be 'barely legal' teenagers at fresher's week at university, or 'schoolies', which are Australian kids who have just finished high school.
After she was banned from going down under, she encouraged some Aussie 'schoolies' to meet her in Bali last week, as she headed to Indonesia with a travel visa, taking her infamous 'Bang Bus' with her.

She wrote: “Hey boys, those that’re going to Schoolies and to those who are barely legal, cannot wait to meet you – and I’m in Bali, so you know exactly what that means.”
But she soon ran into problems and was was taken in by police on suspicion of producing pornographic content, something which is illegal under Indonesia's strict morality laws.
Badung Police Chief Arif Batubara previously confirmed that Bonnie and three men, presumed to be part of her team, had been handed over to the immigrations team in Indonesia.
"We have handed them over to the Immigration for further investigation on alleged breaking immigration law. Police investigation are still ongoing. We jointly conduct the investigation with the immigration," Batubara said on Saturday (6 December).
The other 14 men that were found aboard her Bang Bus, all presumed to be from Australia, were photographed concealing their faces outside immigration officers, one with a McDonald's takeaway bag.
They have now been released, but not after the police had seized 19 outfits with 'School Bonnie Blue' written on them, along with lubricant, condoms, viagra pills and the 'BangBus truck' itself.
With a 15 year sentence on the cards for the creator if she's convicted, police have now provided an update on her situation after it was reported that she was allowed to return to her hotel.
It has now been confirmed that she will be 'summoned' for an interview with immigration officials in Bali within the next 48 hours, as Indonesian authorities decide how to proceed with her case.
Her future also may depend on whether or not the men involved participated in making any porn, which could be then used to turn a profit.
If Blue has found to have produced some commercial content, then the 14 men involved could still be charged, but Batubara did confirm that the 14 men will all be deported back to Australia once the investigation is complete.
Meanwhile, Blue and her alleged associates still wait to learn their future, with their passports still seemingly confiscated to block any way of getting back to the UK.
Legal experts are divided over whether Blue is more likely to face deportation or a prison sentence if convicted.
Krist Andi Ricardo Turnip, S.H., a lawyer with Malekat Hukum International Law Firm in Bali, told news.com.au: "If proven to have created, displayed or distributed pornographic content in Indonesia, the perpetrator may be charged with a threat of imprisonment of up to 12 years."
The maximum penalties under Indonesia's pornography laws are 15 years imprisonment and a fine of up to 6 billion rupiah (£270,000).
