Yung Filly faces further sexual assault charges in Australia

British rapper Yung Filly is facing two additional charges over allegations he sexually assaulted a woman while on tour in Australia.

The YouTuber and musician, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, appeared before Perth District Court in western Australia on Friday.

The 29-year-old social media star has been on bail since October 2024 after allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in a hotel room after a gig last year in Perth.

In March this year, he pleaded not guilty to three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, one of strangulation and four counts of sexual penetration without consent.

Court documents filed on Friday revealed he faces two new counts of sexual penetration without consent.

No plea has yet been entered for these charges.

His case is due to be heard at a 10-day trial starting on 20 July 2026.

During his initial court hearing in October, Barrientos was granted bail with strict conditions and a personal undertaking of 100,000 Australian dollars (£52,000), as well as a surety of the same amount.

Barrientos rose to fame as a social media personality and rapper and has appeared on several BBC shows. He is known for working with Beta Squad - a YouTube collective.

He has also appeared on Soccer Aid and The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer on Channel 4.
