British YouTuber and rapper Yung Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, has been granted bail after appearing in an Australian court on charges of rape and assault.
The 29-year-old internet personality was arrested in Brisbane on Tuesday, October 8, and later extradited to Perth, where the alleged incident occurred.
During his court appearance in Perth on Thursday, October 10, Barrientos faced multiple charges, including four counts of sexual penetration without consent, three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, and one count of impeding a person’s breathing. No pleas were entered.
The charges stem from an alleged assault on a woman in her 20s, which reportedly took place in Barrientos’ hotel room after he performed at a venue in Hillarys, a coastal suburb of Perth, on September 28.
Barrientos was granted bail under strict conditions, including a personal undertaking and surety of 100,000 Australian dollars (£52,000). His next court appearance is scheduled for December 19.
The Government of Western Australia has stated that the investigation is ongoing and has urged anyone with information related to this case or similar incidents to come forward.
