British adult content creator Bonnie Blue—real name Tia Billinger—now finds herself at the center of an international scandal after being arrested in Bali for allegedly producing pornographic material, a serious crime under Indonesian law that carries up to 15 years in prison. The case has triggered raids, detentions of more than a dozen men, and a deep dive by immigration officials into her social-media activity, including posts that may raise further legal questions. With conflicting reports about her custody status and mounting evidence seized from her studio, Indonesian authorities say their investigation is far from over. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber breaks down the escalating controversy and what Blue could be facing under Indonesia’s strict anti-pornography laws with international law attorney David Tafuri.

Nineteen-year-old Brianna Moore is accused of giving birth alone in her University of Tampa dorm bathroom, placing her newborn in a trashcan, and causing the baby’s death. But now, in newly filed legal motions and expert reports, the young mother is unveiling a striking potential defense: she didn’t know she was pregnant, panicked during a medical emergency, and the tragedy was an accident. Prosecutors say the evidence tells a very different story—including disturbing text messages and an autopsy indicating fatal injuries. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber breaks down the latest with criminal defense attorney Matt Mangino.
