Bali deports and blacklists tourist after viral video of sex act in front yard

A tourist has been deported and black-listed from Bali after security footage of a sexual act in a local’s front yard went viral.

An Italian tourist has been deported and black-listed from Bali after security footage of a sexual act in front of a house in Seminyak was circulated on social media.

Bali immigration officials this week confirmed the man, identified only by the initials LS, was deported on Sunday “based on a letter of recommendation from the police” for the “immoral act” with an unidentified woman.

The 35-year-old had been granted a Visa on Arrival at Bali Airport on September 4, which was due to expire on October 3.

Head of the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office, Sugito, said he was deported on Malaysia Airlines where he would fly from Denpasar to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, before getting on a Qatar Airways flight to Doha in Qatar, and then Doha to Rome, Italy.

“The person concerned will be subject to Immigration Administrative Action (TAK) in the form of deportation and the person’s name will be included in the deterrence list,” Sugito said in a press release, according to an English translation.

An article on the Indonesian National Police website said LS’ name could remain on the “immigration blacklist” for six months, and then be extended by six months at a time.

The foreigner, who was staying in a hotel in Kuta, had allegedly been out drinking at a nightclub on September 9 when he met the woman, and they agreed to find a hotel, local media reported, citing police.

A local resident then reportedly caught the pair out the front of his house after his dog kept barking.

He initially thought someone was urinating in the front yard.

“It turned out that when we checked the CCTV, they were having sex,” his wife, Ayu Purwita, told detikBali.

She claimed the pair jumped over a fence and ran away, but police later identified LS in the security footage and arrested him.

The woman is understood to be Indonesian and has not been arrested.

More than 200 people were deported from Bali in the first eight months of the year, including 12 Australians, compared with 188 for the entire year last year.

Meanwhile, tourists have also weighed in Bali’s recently released dos and don’ts list with many in favour of the hotspot’s campaign to crackdown on unruly foreigners.
