Indonesian police are searching for a man who allegedly raped an Australian woman at knifepoint inside her villa on the resort island of Bali.

Local police chief Capt. Reinhard Habonaran Nainggolan said Monday that the 28-year-old woman was attacked Saturday while vacationing with her family near popular Kuta beach.

He said a man broke into her room while she was sleeping, forcing her to open the safety box. After finding it empty, he allegedly raped her and stole three iPads, two cellphones and $154 in cash.

Attacks against foreigners are rare in Bali. However, two Japanese women were killed and one was raped in 2009. The latest attack comes after two high-profile rape cases in India, one involving a Swiss tourist, have sparked outrage and heightened concern among female travelers.

Man Arrested in Bali Over Rape of Australian Tourist


Denpasar. Indonesian police said Wednesday they have arrested a man suspected of raping an Australian holiday-maker during a robbery at her family’s rented villa on the resort island of Bali.
The Indonesian suspect was detained at his rented room in the Balinese capital Denpasar on Monday, said local police chief Reinhard Habonaran Nainggolan.
The 30-year-old, originally from Lombok island which is next to Bali, attempted to flee but police shot him in the leg and detained him, said Nainggolan.
He is suspected of raping the 28-year-old woman, from Perth in Western Australia, in April after breaking into the villa in the popular tourist area of Kuta where she was staying with her family.
The man is accused of threatening the woman with a knife and demanding she hand over her wallet and open the safe in her room, according to police.
When she opened the safe and there was nothing inside, he raped her, they said.
He is also accused of stealing three iPads, two mobile phones and 1.5 million rupiah ($154) from the house.
The woman needed hospital treatment after the attack but was discharged soon afterwards and returned with her family to Australia.

Planning on a ten day vacation on Bali in August - any thoughts on nice places (not on the beach, rather the hills), KW?

Start with Ubud.

Have the FiL and his 'friend' in tow as well - he's paying for the whole trip like he did with the Alaska cruise a few weeks back - noice!

Having said that, the trip will have to cater for him as well as for us and the kids . . . Any suggestions would be helpful

I have been right 4 times when everyone thought I was way out of line.

I don't think this is a false case though.
