The Muslim-majority country has tough anti-pornography laws that carry years in prison as punishment
Police in Bali are investigating porn videos to find the location of a “porn villa” used by foreigners to shoot adult videos.
Clips showing adult entertainers at the villa surfaced online and circulated across social media, eventually catching the attention of Indonesian authorities.
It is thought that the porn shoot was organised by foreigners who made the videos illegally due to Indonesia’s tough laws on pornography. The Muslim-majority country carries severe penalties for breaking their anti-pornography laws, including years in jail.
Indonesia media outlets highlighted the “sex party” and a search began to locate the property.
No arrests have yet been made but authorities believe they have located the area of the island where the villa could be and have identified a potential building.
“[Police] are still investigating the building permit. We’ve visited the viral villa several times, but it was empty,” I Gusti Agung Kerta Suryanegara, chief of a Bali municipal police unit, told VICE World News.
“We will only take action once we find the villa owner or their representative to avoid acting on assumptions,” he added.
Indonesian officials have urged villa and hotel owners alike to be vigilant against those using their properties for porn sets
“We are working with relevant stakeholders to educate foreigners on the importance of maintaining public order from the moment they arrive in airports, immigration offices and other places,” Bali’s police commissioner was quoted as saying in the Bali Post.
