Nadine Caller supported her husband when British model Jed Texas was in a Bali prison for six years – sending him vast sums of money to keep him alive behind bars. But then she made an incredible discovery…

International model Jed Texas is accused of defrauding his Australian girlfriend of $150,000 while he was in an Indonesian prison.

Texas, 34, real name Jed Texas Higgins, was released from the notorious Kerobokan prison on March 26 after spending three and a half years abroad.

But he reportedly continued to pretend to be in prison in Bali in a series of messages to his Australian lover, Nadine Caller, long after he was deported to the UK.

Mrs. Caller continued to send money to Texas for weeks after his release, while he continued to lie to her that he needed the money to bribe corrupt prison officials so he could be released early.

In a series of messages on Instagram in April, Texas told Ms. Caller he needed more money to pay the “pardon” to prison officials who wanted to cut his prison sentence short by months.

Texas claimed the film would be released on September 26, but was in fact already back on British soil.

Indonesian authorities confirmed to Daily Mail Australia this week that Texas was sent back to England the day after his release in March. He was photographed at the airport being escorted out of the country.

“We deported him on March 27, 2024 at night via I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport by Qatar Airways, en route from Denpasar to London via Doha,” authorities said.

‘Based on Indonesian regulations, Jed is not allowed to enter Indonesia for at least six months, which can be extended.’

Ms Caller, who met Texas on Tinder in 2018, claimed she had long suspected her boyfriend had scammed her while she was in prison.

She gave Daily Mail Australia multiple receipts detailing large transfers of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to accounts she was told belonged to prison staff who needed to be bribed.

The Melbourne woman estimated she had transferred a total of around $150,000 to secure her lover’s safety and early release.

She also gave him numerous gifts during his captivity, including telephones, and paid guards so she could make unauthorized conjugal visits in the notorious prison.

“As a con man, they’ll happily throw you over and I’ve lost $150,000 in bail payments to get him out early,” Ms Caller told Daily Mail Australia.

“It sounds like nonsense, but I have everything saved on my phone.”

Ms. Caller compared her ordeal to the Netflix show “The Tinder Swindler,” which tells the story of a con artist who posed as a wealthy, jet-setting diamond magnate to seduce women online and then con them out of millions of dollars.

“It’s kind of the same thing, but from prison,” she said.

“He asked me for more money to get him out of jail, so I paid him money to get him out early.”

Ms. Caller suspects she is not the only woman who has turned to Texas to obtain so-called waiver payments. Another woman recently contacted her to warn her that he had been released from prison.

“She said he tried to cheat on her. It’s always older women with money,” she said. “She told me he lied to me and that she had seen recent photos of him on vacation with his mother.”

Ms. Caller said she was initially convinced the money she had transferred was all going to corrupt officials, but now suspected Texas had access to the accounts.

“I 100 percent believe he does this. And I 100 percent believe there are others like me,” Ms. Caller said.

However, she also had to deal with corruption within the prison system in Bali.

“I was in an office with one of these (officials) who took my money in front of me and then I had sex in prison. It was about $2,000 Australian,” she said.

Mrs. Caller claimed that Texas would extort more money from her if he claimed he was sick and had to pay for hospitalization himself.

“When I backed off and told him I didn’t believe him, he stopped texting me,” she said.

‘As much as I want to believe people, I’m smart enough to know when they’re ripping me off.’

Texas has since blocked Ms Caller on Instagram and refused to answer her questions. He did not respond to further questions from Daily Mail Australia.

Text messages seen by Daily Mail Australia show Texas claiming he received a reduced sentence because he had become Muslim.

“My gut feeling was that he was a liar, but I wanted to believe him,” Caller said. “And he plays on that.”

Mrs. Caller said she even took her own children to the prison to visit Texas.

“I feel like such an idiot… But I have to take a stand. I have to. This isn’t my first rodeo. If I don’t do this, I’m dead. Women like me can’t take this anymore,” she said.

“He told me he loved me, that he couldn’t wait to see me. It was all a lie… I’m so sad for him in so many ways.”

Discovered as a teenager by talent scouts in North London, where he worked as a street urchin, Texas rose to fame when he began modelling for the gay magazine Attitude.

He was immediately scouted by the well-known modeling agency Elite Management and was sent on assignments in New York, Stockholm and Marrakech.

His meteoric rise to stardom earned him a party with fashion legend Kate Moss and the cover of Men’s Health magazine.

He subsequently worked for fashion giants such as Tom Ford, Burberry and Versace, walked the international catwalks during fashion weeks in Milan, Paris and New York and appeared in exclusive fashion reports for Vogue and GQ magazines.

In Australia he was affiliated with Chic Management, a top model agent in the trendy Sydney suburb of Woollahra, and worked as a model for Myer.

During a raid on his villa in April 2020, Indonesian police claimed they found the drugs hidden in nine plastic bags.

According to police, Texas admitted to buying the marijuana for $60 from an unknown man in the Kuta area of ​​the holiday island during the lockdown.

Indonesia is known for its strict drug laws.

Australian leaders of the Bali Nine heroin trafficking gang, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, were executed by firing squad in 2015 despite having been model prisoners since their arrest in 2005.

Texas admitted his guilt, telling the court in Denpasar via video link from prison that his actions had left him “in pain and shame”.

According to police, during the raid, which was prompted by a tip, Texas fled from his bedroom into the bathroom and attempted to flush the drugs down the toilet.

Texas told the court that he treated his anxiety and mental illness by smoking marijuana and that he was addicted to drugs.

“I couldn’t go home (during the pandemic) so I bought a bunch of marijuana to help with my anxiety,” he said at the time.

The model was also fined approximately $109,000.

“I acknowledge that my use of marijuana in Indonesia is against the law,” Texas told the court.

“I’m so sorry. I knew it was illegal, but I didn’t think the penalty would be this high. I use it to treat mental disorders.

“This case has left me with constant pain and shame. My family has been affected by it as well. I never thought about breaking the law when I was on holiday in Bali.”
