Must readAn Australian tourist, Billy Aspinall, 27, has been deported from Bali and banned from Indonesia for 10 years following an alleged public sex act. CCTV footage reportedly captured Aspinall and a woman engaging in sexual activity outside a residential property in Tibubeneng, North Kuta, on August 22. Aspinall was arrested at Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport on August 25 while attempting to board a flight to Brisbane and spent two weeks in immigration detention before his deportation on a Batik Air flight. Muhamad Novyandri, head of the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office, confirmed the 10-year ban. The incident prompted anger among local residents and led to a cleansing ceremony to purify the area. North Kuta chief police commander Ketut Sukadana stated the incident could affect public concern and Bali's tourism image. While Indonesia's revised Criminal Code includes offenses for sex outside marriage, legal experts note these generally require a complaint from specific family members. However, public indecency can lead to enforcement action. The woman involved has not been publicly identified, and authorities are investigating her potential immigration status.
