英国YouTuber兼说唱歌手杨·菲利(Yung Filly,本名安德烈斯·费利佩·瓦伦西亚·巴里恩托斯,30岁)在澳大利亚珀斯法庭接受陪审团裁决[1][2]。该案涉及2024年9月他在珀斯酒店对一名20岁女粉丝的指控[3][4]。经过8天审判,陪审团裁定他在三项性渗透罪名上不成立[1][2],但判定他犯有两项殴打罪[1][2][3],这两项罪名与咬伤受害者相关[3]。在判决宣布后,巴里恩托斯在法庭内哭泣[1]。
案件存在多个未决问题[2][3]。陪审团在另外三项性渗透指控上无法达成一致意见[2][3],检察机关需决定是否就这些指控继续诉讼[2]。同时,陪审团还判定他在一项殴打罪和一项勒颈罪上不成立[2]。根据判决结果,被告保释期限至8月21日,届时法院将决定后续步骤[2][3]。被告在保释期间获准返回英国数个月[4]。
检察官在案件中指控,受害者最初同意发生性关系,但因安全恐惧撤回了同意[4]。法院展示了受害者脸部和颈部的淤伤及咬痕照片作为证据[4]。
British YouTuber and rapper Yung Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, has been acquitted of rape charges following an eight-day trial in Perth, Australia, though a jury convicted him on two counts of assault [1][2][3][4]. The 30-year-old was accused of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old woman after a concert performance in September 2024 [2][3][4].
The jury found Barrientos not guilty on three counts of sexual penetration but determined he was guilty of two counts of causing bodily harm, with the assault charges related to biting the victim [2][3][4]. The jury could not reach a consensus on three additional counts of sexual penetration, meaning prosecutors must decide whether to proceed with a retrial on those charges [2][3]. One charge of choking was also found not guilty [2]. Barrientos wept in court as the verdict was announced [1][4].
According to prosecutors, the victim initially consented to sexual activity but withdrew that consent over safety concerns [4]. Evidence presented to the court included photographs of injuries and bite marks on the victim's face and neck [4]. Barrientos was born in South London and holds Colombian citizenship [3]. He has appeared on BBC programs including Celebrity Bake Off and Hot Property, and has substantial social media followings with three million TikTok followers and 1.8 million YouTube subscribers [3].
The case will return to court on August 21 to address the hung jury verdicts and determine next steps, including any potential retrial date [2][3]. Barrientos was granted bail until that date and was permitted to return to England during the interim period [4].
