Yung Filly Faces Retrial on 3 Rape Charges After Jury Splits on 10-Count Australia Case

Summary
Three rape charges against Yung Filly will be retried in Australia after a jury failed to reach verdicts on those counts.
Last month, the same jury cleared the British rapper and YouTuber of three sexual-penetration-without-consent charges, one assault charge and one strangulation charge in the 10-count Perth case.
Two assault occasioning bodily harm counts ended in guilty verdicts, and Barrientos will be sentenced on those charges after the retrial.
Prosecutors alleged Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, 30, repeatedly raped and assaulted a 20-year-old fan in a Perth hotel room after a 2024 nightclub performance; he denied all charges.
Barrientos is due back in court on Aug. 27 to seek a bail variation, while no retrial date has been set.
