Ex-Wife of AFL Player Sentenced in Bali Pornography Case

Ni Ketut Sri Astari Sarnanitha received a seven-month jail sentence after being found guilty of providing pornographic services through a Seminyak spa.

  • Ni Ketut Sri Astari Sarnanitha, estranged wife of former AFL player Ricky Olarenshaw, was convicted of operating a Bali spa that provided pornographic services.
  • Sarnanitha denied involvement in the spa's operations, claiming her ownership was nominal and used to circumvent Indonesian foreign investment laws.
  • Balinese authorities have been unable to locate Olarenshaw and three Australian business partners named in court, who Sarnanitha accused of being the true operators.
  • The seven-month sentence, which includes time served since October, means Sarnanitha is expected to be released within weeks.
  • In a related case, an Australian couple, Michael and Lynley Le Grand, received identical sentences for similar charges at another Bali spa.
