A nine-year-old NSW girl has allegedly been raped while holidaying in Bali with her family.
Australian authorities on Thursday night confirmed that Indonesian police are investigating the alleged sexual assault.
“Australian consular officials are providing assistance to the girl’s family,” the foreign affairs department said in a statement.
“We understand a suspect has been arrested.”
The girl was reportedly snatched from her bedroom about 9pm (local time) on Sunday and taken to a nearby vacant block at the popular beach town of Kuta.
