Influencer, 22, arrested in Bali for 'livestreaming herself m--turbating'

An influencer has been arrested for alleged "pornographic action," which police said involved live-streaming "obscene" acts on social media for money.



The 22-year-old from Indonesia has reportedly been going live on a social media app called Mango Live for the last nine months.



Ketut Sukadi, Denpasar Police spokesman, said: "The profit she gained from the live job is approximately IDR30 million (US$2,104), every time she goes live she gets about IDR1.5 million (US$105)."




The woman was quickly arrested by authorities when they discovered she had been appearing naked in live streaming sessions and often m--turbating, according to reports.

On an account named "Kuda Poni," meaning pony horse, thousands of followers would tune in for the illegal live shows - many of whom could be below the age limit to use the app, Coconuts reports.



The woman has been charged with a violation of articles under the 2008 Pornography Law and the Information and Electronic Transactions Act (UU ITE), which could carry a maximum sentence of 12 years in prison.
