Closing statements were delivered Tuesday in the Perth trial of British entertainer Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, known as Yung Filly. He faces multiple charges, including six counts of rape, three of assault occasioning bodily harm, and one of choking, stemming from an alleged incident in a hotel room in September 2024.
Barrientos, who gained fame through YouTube and music, pleaded not guilty to all charges. He testified that he did not choke the accuser, though he admitted to biting her multiple times. Photos of the accuser's injuries were presented in court.
The jury is anticipated to begin deliberations on Wednesday, July 30, 2026, after hearing final arguments from both the prosecution and defense lawyers. The outcome of this trial will determine Barrientos's future in light of these serious allegations.
