The estranged wife of AFL player Rick Olarenshaw has been sentenced to seven months in jail by a Balinese court for "providing pornographic services".
Ni Ketut Sri Astari Saranitha, 36, — known as Nitha — was on trial for allegedly operating Flame Spa in Bali that was offering sexual services, in breach of Indonesia's strict ban on sex work.
But she argued that her husband Mr Olarenshaw, his brother Darren, and two other Australian men were the owners of the business.
Mr Olarenshaw told Nine News on the Gold Coast in November last year that it was a "delicate and complicated situation", but declined to comment on the case, except to say it was his wife's business.
Four staff were also sentenced to seven months on the same charges.
The verdict summary states that the five defendants and prosecutor accepted the sentencing and would not appeal.
In October last year, Balinese police conducted raids on spas they suspected of offering sexual service.
As well as Flame Spa, they also raided the Pink Palace spa, which is owned by an Australian couple.
Today, Michael, 50, and Lynley, 44, Le Grand were also found guilty of "providing pornographic services".
The Denpasar District Court sentenced them to seven months behind bars.
Four staff from the spa were also given seven months, and all six sentences will be reduced by time already served.
Judge says couple has been cooperative
Mr Le Grand entered the court complex separately to his wife, wearing a white shirt and red prison vest with the label 'Detainee of Badung [District] Prosecutor Office' on the back, while handcuffed to another defendant.
Ms Le Grand appeared to smile at her husband as he walked towards her from where they were being held before the proceedings.
The couple then went into the court together, this time handcuffed to each other, with Ms Le Grand shielding her face from cameras waiting outside.
They sat quietly in the front row of the courtroom, occasionally whispering to each other, while the judges delivered the verdicts.
The couple are long term residents of Bali and Ms Le Grand survived the 2002 terrorist bombings.
Chief Judge Heryati found their actions did not align with "local value [of ethics] of the community", according to a written judgement summary.
But the judge also acknowledged that the couple had been very cooperative and honest during hearings, that they had shown remorse and that Mr Le Grand was receiving medical treatment for a pancreatic illness, while they also had small children.
The defendants and prosecution accepted the judgement and do not plan to appeal.
Mr and Ms Le Grand own a number of businesses in Bali, including the popular cafe The Corner in Seminyak.
