Tourist Caught On CCTV Having Sex On Bali Driveway—Stopped From Flying Home, Deported And Banned 10 Years

A 27-year-old Australian mechanic took a four-day trip to Bali and wound up spending nearly two additional weeks there in immigration detention after having sex on someone’s driveway… in front of a security camera… underneath a welcome sign… with a woman he’d just met. He told police they were drunk and that he didn’t know her name or nationality. At about 6:29 p.m. on August 21, the pair entered the driveway of a home on Jalan Pantai Berawa in Tibubeneng, North Kuta. The encounter reportedly lasted about 15 minutes. A homeowner heading to prayer discovered them. She was a 47-year old laundry worker. She told the couple to stop. They reportedly ignored her. @detikbali The video began circulating widely the following afternoon. Police used facial recognition technology to identify the man and authorities matched him through the immigration database and placed him on a “Subject of Interest” list. At noon on August 25, that alert hit as he tried to pass through immigration on the way out of Bali, headed home to Brisbane. They stopped him before he could board. Police considered pursuing him under Article 406 of Indonesia’s criminal code for public indecency. But homeowner Wayan Suyadnya didn’t want a criminal case and asked that Aspinall simply be deported. Police handed him over to immigration. Much of the English-language coverage emphasizes Indonesia’s new prohibition on sex outside marriage. However, that generally requires a complaint from a spouse, parent or child. This involved public conduct on somebody else’s property. Meanwhile, the homeowner held a Hindu purification ceremony at the property. The Caru Eka Sata ritual restores spiritual balance after an event defiling the place. Authorities still haven’t identified the woman. Immigration kept him in custody until September 8, then put him aboard a Batik Air flight from Denpasar to Brisbane and barred him from Indonesia for 10 years. Topics on this page
