Indonesian authorities have arrested an adult site creator along with 18 others in Bali after discovering a suspected attempt to produce explicit content at a studio in Pererenan, Mengwi.
Police acted following reports of a potential pornographic video shoot and social media posts linked to the creator, which included footage of activities and a distinctive blue pickup truck marked “Bang Bus.”
During a raid on Thursday, officers found 19 people inside the studio and seized camera equipment, props, condoms, lubricant, USB drives, and vehicle registration documents.
Badung police chief M. Arif Batubara said 14 Australian nationals, aged 19 to 40, were questioned as witnesses and escorted to their residences under police and immigration supervision. Four British nationals, including the main performer, remain in custody as authorities investigate the case under Indonesia’s anti-pornography laws. Charges may be filed after a full review of digital evidence.
