UK YouTuber Yung Filly facing sexual assault charges in Australian court

As a gamer who has followed Yung Filly‘s career since his early YouTube days, I must say I am deeply disappointed and saddened by the recent allegations against him. I have always appreciated his comedic content and energetic performances, but these accusations are far more serious than any joke or dance move.


Known British YouTube personality Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, better recognized as Yung Filly, has been summoned to court in Australia due to allegations of sexual misconduct during his travels in the country.

Barrientos faces accusations for four instances of non-consensual sexual activity, three assault cases that resulted in bodily injury, and one charge related to obstructing someone’s ability to breathe or circulate normally.

30-year-old internet sensation has been traveling across Australia, showcasing his original tunes and spinning discs at various clubs. Controversial claims have surfaced following his performance at Bar1 Nightclub in Perth on September 27.

A woman in her 20s reported to Western Australia Police that she had been sexually assaulted in Barrientos’ hotel room hours after the show.

In the Australia 2024 tour schedule, Barrientos was slated for a total of seven performances, starting with his Bar1 show in Perth on September 27, which marked the beginning of the tour.

Known influencer Barrientos initially gained recognition through YouTube, primarily by producing humorous content both on his individual channels and in partnership with other up-and-coming comedians in the UK. Frequently featured in Beta Squad videos, he also secures advertising agreements with prominent brands across various social media platforms.
