UK rapper Yung Filly found not guilty of raping Australian woman
UK rapper Yung Filly has been found not guilty of raping a fan after performing at a nightclub in Australia in 2024.
On Friday a jury in Western Australia found him not guilty for three counts of sexual penetration without consent.
But he was found guilty for two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.
The YouTuber, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, had been accused of sexually assaulting the woman, then 20 years old, in his hotel room after he performed in Hillarys, a coastal suburb of Perth.
The jury could not come to a decision on three other counts of rape.
Barrientos was also found not guilty for one count of assault occasioning bodily harm and also for strangulation.
The 30-year-old social media star, who pleaded not guilty to all charges, cried when the verdict was read out, local media reported.
He will remain on bail until 21 August, when the court will decide his sentencing date.
Prosecutors will also decide on the next steps for the three hung jury verdicts - whether to press ahead or not on those rape charges.
