The influencer ex-wife of legendary soccer star Ricky Olarenshaw has been arrested in Bali for her alleged involvement in a spa accused of being an illegal brothel.
Sarnanitha Olarenshaw, who shares a daughter with the former Essendon premiership star, was arrested in a police raid at the Flame Spa massage parlor in Seminyak at the end of September.
Two receptionists, a manager and the spa director were also arrested.
Sarnanitha claims her ex-husband was a co-owner of the spa.
Olarenshaw is believed to have returned to Australia days before the raid, leaving her young daughter alone in Indonesia, the Herald of the sun.
It is not known whether Mr Olarenshaw was aware of any alleged illegal activity within the spa.
There is no suggestion to Daily Mail Australia of any wrongdoing on Mr Olarenshaw’s part.
Senior Police Commissioner Jansen Avitus Panjaitan confirmed that three women had been arrested during the raid.

“The three people are employees of Flame Spa, a manager and two receptionists,” he said in a statement.
The case is still under investigation, but pProstitution and sex work are highly illegal in Bali and are considered a crime against “decency and morality” on the island.
Panjaitan told reporters that the next step in the investigation was to “immediately obtain legal certainty” about whether illegal activities were taking place at the spa.
Services at Flames Spa range from $189 to $283 per session and their motto was: ‘Our service is more than just a sensual massage, it’s an erotic experience.’
‘Our goal is to light your flame.’
Sarnanitha, who has 20,000 online followers, denied the allegations against her.
Local police claim the couple’s Flame Spa was conducting illegal prostitution activities.
Fame Spa hosted Mr. Olarenshaw’s Playboy-themed 50th birthday party last year.
In a statement released through her lawyer, she said she was concerned that the young daughter she shares with Olarenshaw would be taken away from her.
The couple split earlier this year.
Flame Spa is run by Ni Ketut Sri Astari, which is Sarnanitha’s name, and last year she hosted Mr Olarenshaw’s Playboy-themed 50th birthday party.

Ricky played 77 games for Essendon, starting in 1993, before spending two seasons at Collingwood, where he only played five games.
He then made one appearance for North Melbourne before announcing his retirement.
He has since moved to Bali, where he runs three F45 gyms.
It comes as two Australians were arrested in a similar raid for running a spa that allegedly offered prostitution.
Michael Le Grand, 50, and Lynley Le Grand, 44, both from Victoria, were arrested for their alleged involvement at the Pink Palace Spa.
They could face 12 years in prison if convicted.
