A MAN being questioned by Bali police after an Australian woman reported she had been raped says they had consensual sex.
The 18-year-old woman reported she had been raped by the British citizen, 25, after they had sexual relations following their meeting at the popular nightclub Sky Garden on Thursday night. Both were drunk at the time, police say.
It is understood the NSW-born woman was in Bali for schoolie celebrations.
Police say they are still gathering evidence from the woman’s Kuta hotel room and are questioning the man.
The man denies the rape allegations. He said the woman became irate after they had sexual intercourse and declared she didn’t like it. He then left.
The 25-year-old does not yet have a lawyer and has not been declared a suspect.
Detectives are still waiting for the results of a physical exam of the alleged victim.
“We’re still developing the evidence and facts,” Denpasar Chief Detective Reinhard Habonaran Nainggolan told reporters, adding the man could be held for 24 hours.
Comment is being sought from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
