British rapper and YouTuber Yung Filly (Andrés Felipe Valencia Barrientos) faced ten sexual‑assault charges in the Western Australian District Court following an alleged September 2024 encounter in Perth. During the trial, Barrientos testified that the sexual encounter was consensual, describing the sex as “great” with “grunting and moaning in a good way,” and characterized his biting of the complainant as a “love bite.” On 29 July 2026, a 12-member jury delivered a mixed verdict: he was acquitted of three counts of sexual penetration without consent, of a choking/strangulation charge, and of one assault count. However, he was found guilty of two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm for bite injuries to the complainant’s neck, cheek, and breast.
