British rapper Yung Filly to face retrial on rape charges in Australia

Friday, 21 August 2026, 06:20 · 1 min read

British rapper Yung Filly — real name Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, a Colombian-born social media personality known for the YouTube collective Beta Squad — will face a retrial in Australia on three counts of rape after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict. The charges stem from an alleged assault on a 20-year-old fan following a nightclub performance in Hillarys, a coastal suburb of Perth, in 2024. The jury acquitted Barrientos on five charges but found him guilty of two counts of assault; he will not be sentenced on those counts until after the retrial, which has yet to be scheduled.
