The viral porn video circulating among Balinese this week was taken along Mount Batur’s hiking trail, police have confirmed, as authorities work to identify the foreigners.
Yesterday, a short and censored clip taken from the original video started circulating widely online after it was shared by popular community accounts in Bali. Netizens were quick to point out that the video was taken on Mount Batur, which is considered one of the most sacred spots in Bali.
People also assumed that the video was taken during the pandemic, as the woman — identified as a Russian adult model — was wearing a mask on her chin in the clip. Coconuts managed to trace the video back to Pornhub yesterday, where it was first uploaded a year ago and has been viewed more than 1.2 million times, though it appears to have been taken down as of today.
“Our officer found the location, specifically along the hiking trail of Mount Batur, a bit above Pasar Agung Temple,” Bangli precinct chief I Gusti Agung Dhana Aryawan said.
“We are coordinating with immigration to find out whether or not the people concerned are still in Bali.”
Though the video was taken last year, should they still be in Indonesian territory the people in the video may be charged with public indecency under Indonesia’s criminal code (KUHP), which carries a maximum prison sentence of two years and eight months in prison.
