A Nigerian man has been found guilty of attempting to rape an Australian woman after a night out at a popular beachside nightclub in Bali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idongesit Joseph Zion was sentenced to one year imprisonment by Chief Judge Ida Bagus Bamadewa Patiputra at the Denpasar District Court on July 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court found that Zion had attempted to sexually assault an Australian woman, known as KTR, at his accommodation on Jalan Teuku Umar, in central Denpasar, on December 2, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court heard Zion lured her to his accommodation after falsely claiming he was booking her a motorcycle taxi back to her hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zion and KTR met at Finns Beach Club, along the Berawa beachfront west of Denpasar, on a Friday night, according to Balinese news outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zion, who was with his friend, started interacting with KTR, who was with her sister, before the Australian lost interest and attempted to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He then incessantly attempted to keep in contact with the Australian, offering to purchase her a taxi back to her hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court heard although his initial proposal was refused by KTR, Zion would order an online motorcycle taxi for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believing she was returning to her own hotel, KTR accepted the gesture only to be taken to Zion’s accommodation where he would attempt to rape her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the help of her sister and Zion’s friend, KTR was able to escape and alert police<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judge Ida Bagus Bamadewa Patiputra said Zion had caused ‘clear harm to the victim’ while also breaching decency values of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘The victim suffered losses and felt violated as a woman,’ Ida Bagus Bamadewa Patiputra said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘The defendant, Idongesit Joseph Zion, is declared legally and convincingly guilty of the crime of attempted rape. The defendant is sentenced to one year in prison.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
