An Australian couple has been found guilty by a Balinese court under Indonesia's anti-pornography law and sentenced to seven months in jail.
Michael and Lynley Le Grand were arrested in October after their business, the Pink Palace Spa, was raided over allegations of violating Indonesian laws banning prostitution.
The couple was found guilty of "providing pornographic services" and could have faced a maximum sentence of six years in jail.
They are long-term residents of Bali, and Ms Le Grand survived the 2002 terrorist bombings.
They own a number of businesses in Bali, including the popular cafe The Corner in Seminyak.
