UK rapper Yung Filly faces retrial over alleged rape of a young fan in Perth
Consensus Summary
UK rapper Yung Filly, known as Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, is facing a retrial in Perth for three charges of sexual penetration without consent after a jury failed to reach a verdict in July 2024. The original eight-day trial resulted in convictions for two assault offences and acquittals on three sexual penetration charges, with a hung jury on the remaining three counts. Both sources confirm the alleged victim was 20 years old at the time of the incident, which occurred after a nightclub performance in 2024. The complainant has expressed willingness to testify again, and Yung Filly remains on bail, with a bail variance hearing scheduled for next week. While both articles agree on the core facts, discrepancies exist in the rapper’s age, the total number of charges, and minor procedural details.
