The influencer ex-wife of legendary footy star Ricky Olarenshaw has been arrested in Bali over 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 on the Flame Spa massage parlour in Seminyak in late September.
Two receptionists, a manager and the spa’s director were also arrested.
Sarnanitha claims her estranged husband was a part owner of the spa.
Mr Olarenshaw is understood to have returned to Australia days before the raid, leaving his young daughter alone in Indonesia, reported the Herald Sun.
It is not known if Mr Olarenshaw was aware of any alleged illegal activity happening within the spa.
Daily Mail Australia is not suggested any wrongdoing on behalf of Mr Olarenshaw.
Senior commissioner of police Jansen Avitus Panjaitan confirmed that three women had been arrested during the raid.

The three people are Flame Spa employees, one manager and two receptionists, he said in a statement.
The case is still under investigation but prostitution and sex work are highly illegal in Bali and are considered a crime against decency and morality on the island.
Mr Panjaitan told reporters the next step in the investigation was to immediately obtain legal certainty as to whether illegal activities were going on in the spa.
Services at Flames Spa range from $189 to $283 per session and its motto was: Our service is more than just a sensual massage, it is an erotic experience.
Our aim is to ignite your flame.
Sarnanitha, who has 20,000 followers online, denied the allegations against her.
