Adult creator Bonnie Blue has learned her fate for her controversial 'BangBus' stunt in Indonesia.
The British adult star was arrested on December 5 alongside more than a dozen male tourists on suspicion of making X-rated content in Bali.
It is reported that it was her so-called 'BangBus' sex tour, which invited men aged between 19 and 40 years old to participate, that landed her in trouble with the Indonesian province and led to her arrest.
As well as the bus, lubricant, condoms, viagra pills and outfits were seized by cops as the former OnlyFans star, whose real name is Tia Billinger, faced questions from immigration authorities.

If prosecuted and found guilty, Billinger was told she could face 15 years behind bars and forced to fork out a hefty fine of around six billion rupiah (around $360,000).
Now, it appears the 26-year-old has received a far more lenient punishment as Ngurah Rai Immigration Office confirmed she would be deported back to the UK and 'black-listed' from returning for at least a decade, though she may face trial over the purchase of the van.
At a press conference outside the office, immigration boss Heru Winarko said Billinger and her team had breached the conditions of their tourist visas.
"They have misused the visa they have to make content in Bali,” Winarko said. “They will be black-listed from entering Indonesia for at least 10 years (that) could be extended.”
Billinger and her crew of three men are now set to be deported as soon as police have wrapped up their investigation.
"Once police have finished with the investigation, after that we will deport them and put them (on) the blacklist,” Winarko confirmed.
Yet Badung Police added that Billinger and the team could potentially still face trial over the purchase of the blue 'Bangbus' for allegedly lacking vehicle registration, according to detikBali.
Meanwhile, one of the two British men in her entourage is also accused of not having an international driving licence while operating the van that could be seen traveling the streets in a series of videos posted on social media.
“While in Bali, BB (Bonnie Blue) should have been travelling, but instead she was creating content,” Badung Police Chief, Arif Batubara, said.
He added that the purchase of the pickup truck to create content could also be considered a violation.
For this, Billinger and the British man are due to appear before Denpasar District Court on Friday (December 12).
The latest comes as Billinger's alleged 17 participants, including a group of 14 Australians, are said to have been released on Saturday (December 6) morning after being interviewed as witnesses and were released without charge.
Officials confirmed those questioned 'admitted' to their plan to 'participate in the production of the reality show content.'
They added that the immigration authorities are also looking into allegations of residence permit abuse and have confiscated their passports.
