timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Australian tourist Billy Aspinall, 27, has been deported from Bali and banned from Indonesia for 10 years after CCTV allegedly captured him in a public sex act in North Kuta. He was arrested at the airport on August 25 and deported Tuesday night. Aspinall, from Queensland's Sunshine Coast, was detained for about two weeks after the August 22 incident outside a residential property in Tibubeneng. Police said the alleged conduct could harm tourism perceptions, while locals held a cleansing ceremony to purify the area. The case follows Indonesia's revised Criminal Code effective January 2026, though legal experts note sex outside marriage requires family complaints. The woman in the footage remains unidentified, with authorities continuing to investigate potential immigration action against her.
