The trio, a woman and two men, were being held on suspicion of seeking to “profit from pornographic video and content,” police chief Joseph Edward Purba of the Badung district of Bali told reporters. The foreigners risk up to 10 years’ imprisonment on a pornography production charge and another six for online distribution. Bali is predominantly Hindu and a magnet for millions of foreign visitors, but Muslim-majority Indonesia strictly forbids the production of pornographic material. Last year, British adult film star Bonnie Blue was deported from Bali, after receiving a fine for a traffic violation that was the only charge to stick from an investigation into porn production. The Frenchman, described as the woman’s “manager,” was arrested days later in Badung.
