In July 2026, British rapper and YouTuber Yung Filly ~~(Andres~~ (Andrés Felipe Valencia Barrientos) faced a trial in the District Court of Western Australia over ten sexual‑assault charges stemming from an alleged September 2024 encounter with a 20‑year‑old fan during his Perth tour. Initial reporting on 20 July described accusations of rape, biting, choking and assault, the victim’s testimony, and Filly’s not‑guilty pleas. On 25 July the court heard that Filly would take the stand. Evidence presented included nightclub video footage, forensic DNA tests that found no male DNA, and a blood sample indicating the victim had used MDMA. Defence counsel criticised aspects of the police investigation, questioning why certain witnesses were not interviewed. Two days later, Filly testified in person, denying six counts of sexual penetration without consent, three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm and a charge of strangulation. He described the encounter as consensual, calling the sexual activity “great” and acknowledging only “love bites”. He denied any choking or slapping, but admitted biting the woman several times. Prosecutors displayed photographs of bruises and bite marks, and alleged that his security guard had taken the victim’s phone. Closing arguments were delivered on 28 July, and the jury began deliberations the following week. A verdict is expected shortly after the 29 July report noted the jury’s pending decision. The case has attracted considerable social‑media discussion, particularly around Filly’s claim that the bite marks were consensual “love bites.” The trial remains ongoing as the court weighs the competing evidence.
