An American sexpert was deported from from a tropical paradise after Muslim lawmakers accused her of conducting Kama Sutra demonstrations.
Intimacy expert Jennelle Raynette Gordon was detained by immigration officers in Jakarta, Indonesia on September 16 while she was with her 10-year-old son.
Officers grabbed her following reports of her sexual classes going on in a villa at Seminyak in southern Bali, which is part of Indonesia.
She was deported from the country two days later, according to The Sun.
The mother planned a paid ‘Intimacy mastery Retreat’ which violated her stay permit, it is claimed.
The officers also alleged that they had found sex toys at Gordon’s villa, despite the devices being forbidden in Indonesia.
Gordon’s class was charging nearly $7,000 for the five-day course that included lessons on the Kama Sutra, according to the outlet.
This is an ancient Hindu teaching focusing on sexuality and emotional fulfillment, but is most commonly known as an illustrated book of different sexual positions

Gordon has denied the claims made against her and insisted she was only in Indonesia on vacation.
The 44-year-old told the Daily Mail she had fallen victim to a ‘witch hunt’.
Gordon explained that she wasn’t in Indonesia to teach a class to begin with – she said she was celebrating her birthday on September 9, and it was her business partner’s book release.
She repeatedly claimed that no business was conducted in the country, that any money she received was used to host the event.
The expert said that there were only eight people, including her and her partner, staying at the villa and that it was a completely spiritual gathering.
The single mother said she was outraged to be arrested after pumping cash into the local economy by hiring the villa – then performers and a priest to put on a party.
Gordon said she didn’t make any profit from the event.

She said her deportation began in a strange manner.
She said she was catching flight from Bali to Jakarta. Then from Jakarta to Taiwan and finally to LAX in the US but she was stopped before she got on any flights.
Gordon recalled being approached by three men at the Bali Airport and around 5:30am who requested an interview.
She was then taken to an immigration center where a large woman in full Muslim garb came in and began demanding her passport, and attempted to go through her things, and said the woman pushed her multiple times.
She demanded a supervisor, but no one came.
When she initially tried to call the embassy, she said the officers wouldn’t let her, so she decided to walk out. When she did so, she and her son were separated.

She said a gate closed between the two and trapped her son until she agreed to cooperate.
Gordon got back with her 10-year-old and finally got on the phone with the embassy, but after 20 minutes, she said four women dragged her off the phone.
The immigration office took their passports for two days as they waited to fly back to the US.
She explained that officers kept telling her to delete any footage she took while at the office, and that on their way back to the airport, the officers now all had uniforms and were in police marked cars.
