A French woman identified in local media as Melisa Mireille Jeanine, known online as CallMeSlo, has been arrested in Bali along with two European men over allegations they filmed and distributed adult film content on the Indonesian island, where such material is prohibited, authorities said Tuesday.
Jeanine, 23, was reportedly detained alongside a 26-year-old French man, identified as ERB, and a 24-year-old Italian man, identified as NBS, also reported as Nadir ben Said.
Police allege the trio produced an explicit video in Canggu Village in Bali’s North Kuta District, a popular tourist destination. Investigators said ERB acted as Jeanine’s manager and producer, while NBS appeared in the video dressed as a Gojek scooter delivery driver.
Authorities said they were alerted after a video circulating online showed the woman and the Italian man engaged in a sexual act. The footage was allegedly filmed at Villa Pande on the afternoon of March 8th.
“Their motivation to do the alleged crime is seeking profit from adult film video content,” police official Joseph Edward Purba said at a press conference.
Officers discovered the video on March 13th and worked with immigration officials to intercept Jeanine and NBS at Denpasar airport as they attempted to depart Indonesia for Thailand that same day.
“The suspects were then secured at the airport and taken to Badung Police Headquarters for further legal processing,” Purba said.
ERB was arrested separately in Canggu on Monday.
Police said they seized three mobile phones, a camera, a MacBook laptop, and a motorcycle taxi vest believed to have been used in the production.
Amid online speculation, a Gojek scooter driver named M Ray, who has appeared in social media videos with Jeanine, said in an Instagram video that he was not involved in the incident.
“Three suspects have been named in the making of the video that recently went viral. All three are foreign nationals, two men and one woman. Many assume that I am the person in the video. But thank God, thanks to the hard work of the Badung Police, especially Unit 4 of the Criminal Investigation Unit, who have revealed the people behind this video. Once again, I thank you,” he said.
All three suspects are being investigated under Indonesia’s electronic information and transaction laws for allegedly creating and distributing adult film content. If convicted, they could face up to 10 years in prison.
