Yung Filly was arrested and charged with sexual assault.
The 29-year-old British YouTuber and rapper – real name Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos – appeared in court this week after being arrested in Australia and accused of raping a woman in his Perth hotel room after a show.
He was reportedly arrested in Brisbane on Tuesday (08/10/24) before being extradited to Perth the next day.
He was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s on September 28 after a performance at the Bar1 nightclub the previous evening.
He is charged with four counts of sexual penetration without consent, three counts of assault and one count of obstructing a person’s normal breathing or circulation by applying pressure to the neck.
Barrientos – who presents shows such as Hot Property and Yung Filly’s Celeb Lock-in for the BBC – appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday (10/10/10).
He spoke only to confirm his name and acknowledge the allegations against him.
As ABC Australia reported, his case was adjourned and he was granted conditional bail, including a ban on contacting the alleged victim or posting anything about the case on social media.
The YouTuber has over three million followers on Instagram alone, the same number on TikTok and 1.8 million subscribers on YouTube.
In a statement, Western Australia Police said: “This investigation is ongoing and Sex Assault Squad investigators urge anyone with information about this matter or similar incidents to call Crime Stoppers.”
He previously appeared on Channel 4’s The Great Celebrity Bake Off in 2022, while working with fellow YouTuber Chunkz and the Beta Squad.
As part of his music career, he collaborated with Chunkz on the UK Top 30 single “Hold” in 2020 and released “Grey” earlier this year, which racked up 63 million Spotify streams.
He has over two million monthly listeners on the streaming platform.
