Rape-accused UK rapper Yung Filly blows kiss to fans outside court
British YouTuber and musician Yung Filly, who is accused of raping and strangling a woman in a Perth hotel room, has briefly appeared in court to change his temporary address.
Filly, whose real name is 29-year-old Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, returned to the Perth Magistrates Court on Wednesday for a variation of bail, which was granted.
The change to his address details was not read to the court, but a Western Australian Police prosecutor said it “does not appear to raise any flags at this time”.
The entertainer is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s after an Oct. 5 performance.
He was arrested in Brisbane and extradited to Perth, where he made his first court appearance on October 10.
The London rapper, who has 1.8 million YouTube subscribers and millions of Instagram and TikTok followers, is facing a slew of charges.
These include four cases of sexual penetration without consent and three cases of assault causing bodily harm.
He is also accused of impeding the woman’s breathing or circulation by putting pressure on her neck.
