A French woman has been arrested alongside two men after allegedly filming pornography in Bali, where X-rated content is outlawed.
The woman was identified by Indonesian courts as MMJL but has been recognised as French OnlyFans model Melisa Mireille Jeanine, 23.
It’s understood Jeanine was staying in Canggu Village, North Kuta District, with a 26-year-old French man – identified as ERB, and 24-year-old Italian man – identified as NBS.
ERB allegedly acted as Jeanine’s manager and producer while NBS allegedly appeared in a pornographic video while dressed as a delivery driver.
Bali is a beloved holiday destination for millions of Australians and is part of Muslim-majority Indonesia, where producing and sharing pornography is illegal.
Police were alerted to the case after learning of a viral video online allegedly showing Jeanine with the Italian driver in Bali.
It’s alleged the video was shot at Villa Pande on the afternoon of March 8.
‘Their motivation to do the (alleged) crime is seeking profit from pornographic video content,’ Joseph Edward Purba told a press conference on Tuesday.

Officers came across the video on Friday, March 13, and ordered immigration authorities to detain Jeanine and NBS at Denpasar Airport, where they were due to depart Indonesia that day.
‘The suspects were then secured at the airport and taken to Badung Police Headquarters for further legal processing,’ Purba said.
ERB was arrested in Canggu on Monday.
Indonesian police seized three phones, a camera, a MacBook laptop and ‘motorcycle taxi vest’ from the three tourists.
‘All the three suspects are now facing Indonesian electronic information and transaction for making and spreading the pornography content,’ Purba said.
Under the Indonesian law, the trio face a maximum ten years behind bars if convicted.
The news comes just months after UK pornstar Bonnie Blue was deported from Bali in December 2025.
She was accused of targeting Australian teenagers visiting the island for Schoolies to make pornographic material.

Blue shared several short videos of herself interacting with the recently graduated Aussies at several hotspots around the island.
In one clip, she filmed a group of rowdy Aussie teens riding in the back of her ‘bang bus’, joking to parents, ‘Remember when I said I was going to pick your sons up? I wasn’t lying’.
While the pornography charges were dropped, Blue was deported after being found guilty of a minor traffic offence and working on a tourist visa.
