General Crime Director of the Bali Police, Sr. Comr. I Gede Adhi Mulyawarman told media on Friday that the incident occurred around 4am on Tuesday in Seminyak, Kuta.
After spending the night at the club, KNB was leaving the establishment when she realised she had left some of her belongings inside.
She went back to the nightclub to get her items and was helped by one of the club's security staff.
However, when they were in the restroom area, the security guard allegedly raped her.

The other Chinese national, QY, was allegedly sexually assaulted by a security guard at the Bohemian Bali hotel in Canggu on March 25.
The victim arrived at the hotel at 4am, but found out her room was locked.
She went to the front desk to ask for help only to meet the alleged perpetrator at the desk.
She asked him to help open her room and when they arrived at the room, he could not open it.
She asked the security guard to take her back to the front desk to get another key and that's when he allegedly smothered the victim's mouth and tried to assault her.
She bit the guard on the finger and kicked him before running to a friend's room where she made a police report.
Police later arrested a freelance security guard at the hotel.
