A British rapper and social media influencer faces trial in Perth, Western Australia, charged with sexually assaulting a 20-year-old fan following a concert in September 2024. The defendant, Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, known professionally as Yung Filly, is accused of biting, slapping, strangling, and raping the woman during a private encounter at a hotel after the event. The trial opened on Monday at Perth District Court, marking the start of a 10-day proceeding that will rely heavily on the victim’s in-person testimony. According to prosecutors, the woman attended the concert at Hillarys nightclub Bar1 with her cousin and expressed great enthusiasm for seeing Yung Filly perform. After the show, she was invited into the VIP area, where she claims the rapper approached her and initiated physical contact. Prosecutors allege that Yung Filly told her, “You’re coming home with me tonight,” and placed his hand down the back of her pants before grabbing one of her breasts. When the woman reportedly told him, “I’m not like that,” he allegedly responded, “It really shows your age.” The woman accompanied Yung Filly to his hotel, believing she was heading to an after-party. Instead, she found herself alone with him in a hotel room, where the pair engaged in consensual sex. However, the prosecution claims the encounter quickly escalated into violence. According to the court, Yung Filly began biting her neck, and when she protested, he continued despite her requests to stop. The woman described being bitten so hard that she felt pain and asked him to be gentle. Prosecutors stated that he ignored her pleas and bit even harder. The jury was presented with images of alleged bruises and bite marks on the woman’s face and neck, which the state attributes to Yung Filly. Prosecutors further allege that the rapper bit her on both breasts, leaving visible marks, and then constricted her breathing by placing both hands around her neck for several seconds. The woman claims she was slapped multiple times across the face and instructed to say degrading remarks such as “I’m Filly’s dirty whore” and “fat pig.” She reportedly cried due to the pain and fear she experienced during the incident. The woman also alleged that Yung Filly proceeded to penetrate her anally without her consent. During her testimony, she described how she had previously viewed Yung Filly as an idol, with a Snapchat video showing her expressing hopes of marrying him, having children, and achieving fame and wealth. The woman explained that she and her cousin were granted access to the VIP area of the venue shortly after 2:30 am, where Yung Filly offered them tequila shots. She and the rapper recorded a Snapchat video together before he complimented her appearance. At the hotel, the woman claims she was required to hand over her mobile phone to Yung Filly’s security guard, ostensibly for privacy reasons. She stated that she complied willingly, unlocking her device for them to inspect. However, she later requested her phone back multiple times, only to learn that the security guard had turned it off and taken it with him before she and Yung Filly began engaging in sexual activity. The woman described the encounter as becoming increasingly aggressive, noting that Yung Filly moved her around roughly and did not engage in conversation, instead focusing solely on physical interaction. The trial continues with further testimonies and evidence expected to be presented over the next 10 days. Yung Filly maintains his innocence and is expected to mount a defense challenging the allegations against him. The case has drawn attention given Yung Filly’s status as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, with millions of followers across various social media platforms. As the proceedings unfold, the court will assess whether the prosecution can establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the alleged sexual assault occurred as described.
