Blue was banned from Australia last year after her “barely legal” stunt during which she called for “Schoolies” to be involved in her X-rated content.

Badung Police chief Arif Batubara said it was not yet clear if anyone would be charged.

“The investigation is still underway,” Mr Arif told News Corp.

Indonesian police say the investigation is probing alleged criminal activity related to pornography, including distributing, transmitting and/ or producing electronic information or documents containing links violating morality.

It is possible Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger, could face a charge under Indonesia’s electronic technology information law that carries a maximum of six years in prison and / or a fine of IDR 1 billion.

The law prohibits people from “deliberately and without authorization” broadcasting content that violates decency which is accessible by the public.

Blue has also been calling out for Schoolies to make contact while she is in Bali.

“Hey boys, those who are going to Schoolies, and those that are barely legal, cannot wait to meet you,” she posted last week.

“I’m in Bali so you know exactly what that means.”

Immigration official Raja Ulul Azmy said Blue could be deported after the police investigation was completed.

Blue gained notoriety for a documentary she made having sex with 1057 men in 12 hours.

The Bali investigation into Blue began after a complaint was filed.

Indonesian authorities are planning to hold a press conference on Thursday.

Immigration official Raja Ulul Azmy said today that police are still investigating the case of Bonnie. “Immigration still waiting for the police investigation result,” Raja said.
