BRIT YouTube star Yung Filly has been seen for the first time after pleading not guilty to eight charges relating to an alleged rape in Australia.
The 29-year-old online influencer, real name Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s in his hotel room in Perth, after performing at a nightclub.
The alleged incident took place on September 28, 2024, after the star had finished performing at Bar1 Nightclub whilst on tour in Australia.
Barrientos entered the not guilty pleas during an appearance at Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
The internet personality and rapper faces three charges of assault, one count of impeding a person's normal breathing or blood circulation by applying pressure to the neck, and four counts of sexual penetration without consent.
The court will hear the matter in June - and he remains free on £52,000 bail.
The Youtuber did not answer reporters’ questions as he left court, according to The West Australian, but did say it was a “beautiful day”.
According to court documents, Barrientos pleaded guilty to a reckless driving charge on 5 December whilst on bail which began in October.
He was caught driving at more than 96mph on the Roe Highway on 17 November.
Barrientos rose to fame as a social media personality and rapper under the alias Yung Filly and has appeared on several BBC shows and charity football matches with other influencers.
He is known for working with Beta Squad, a group of YouTube and social media stars, and has also featured on Soccer Aid and The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up To Cancer.
