Australian guy’s girlfriend caught stealing Viagra from a humble Bali shop reveals why he REALLY needed the erectile dysfunction drug… and what she thought of his wild journey
EXCLUSIVE
The girlfriend of an Australian man caught stealing Viagra from an unsuspecting pharmacist in Bali has defended her lover, insisting the drug is not just used for erections.
Kane Bailey, 19, was arrested and forced to sign a peace deal with an Indonesian chemist who caught him on CCTV stealing the performance-enhancing drug.
Mr Bailey – who was subsequently deported – has since done damage control, deleting a photo of himself posing with a St George Illawarra rugby league player while on holiday.
His girlfriend, make-up artist Kate Tanti, told Daily Mail Australia she was on the same fateful holiday.
“Viagra is not only used for people with erectile dysfunction, but is also used as a sexual enhancer,” she said.
‘You’re pretty much making fun of other men who struggle with erectile dysfunction – this can lead to poor mental health in many men.’

Mr Bailey, 19, and a friend walked into the North Kuta pharmacy on Saturday evening and began asking the pharmacy questions about Viagra. As they talked, he put four pills in his pocket
Mr Bailey walked into a pharmacy in North Kuta with a friend last Saturday evening and started asking the shop assistant questions about the pill.
The pharmacy clerk handed Bailey the box of Viagra so they could both look at it.
When the shop assistant wasn’t looking, Mr Bailey sneaked a strip of pills into the pocket of his shorts, before his mate handed the box back.
The pair then left the pharmacy. Staff later discovered that four pills had been stolen from the box.
The CCTV footage of the theft quickly went viral and alerted the authorities who had tracked the duo to their villa last Monday evening.
Mr Bailey and his mate were then taken to the police station and questioned, prompting the teenager to admit to stealing the pills.
Ms Tanti insisted she was also in Bali, telling Daily Mail Australia: ‘Viagra is not only used for people with erectile dysfunction, but is also used as a sexual enhancer’
During the holiday, Mr Bailey shared a photo of himself and his friends, including St George footballer Jayden Sullivan, at popular Bali bar Finns Beach Club. He said he was “running” with his friends
The teen admitted to the theft and then signed a peace agreement with the pharmacy (above). He agreed to repay the company IDR740,000, the equivalent of $AUD74
The pharmacy had not taken a report, but officers facilitated a meeting between staff and the 19-year-old, during which Mr Bailey was asked to apologise.
The teen did so and then signed a peace agreement with the pharmacy. He agreed to repay the company IDR740,000, the equivalent of $AUD74.
Police asked immigration to deport Mr Bailey, but he flew back to Australia a day later on Tuesday.
Mr Bailey recently shared a photo of himself and his friends, including St George footballer Jayden Sullivan, at popular Bali bar Finns Beach Club.
He captioned the recording: “Just some guys running amok (sic).” The image was removed – the only public acknowledgment by Mr Bailey that something had gone wrong.
