UK YouTuber, rapper and TV star Yung Filly has appeared in court in Australia on rape charges.
Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, was arrested in Brisbane on Tuesday (8 October). He appeared in the Perth Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (10 October), charged with allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in Perth on 28 September after performing in the area.
Western Australian Police confirm he faces four counts of sexual penetration without consent, three counts of assault, and one count of impeding a person’s breathing by applying pressure to the neck.
Local media reports he was released on bail of $100 000 AUD (about R1.2 million) with strict conditions, including a ban on contacting his alleged victim or posting on social media about the case.
