British YouTuber and musician Yung Filly, who is accused of raping and choking a woman in a Perth hotel room, has briefly faced court to change his temporary address.
Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, 29, returned to Perth Magistrates Court today for a bail variation, which was granted.
The change to his address details weren’t read to the court but a Western Australian Police prosecutor said it didn’t “appear to raise any flags at this time”.
The 29-year-old is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s following a performance on October 5.
He was arrested in Brisbane and extradited to Perth, where he made his first court appearance on October 10.
The London rapper, who has 1.8 million YouTube subscribers and millions of Instagram and TikTok followers, is facing a slew of charges.
These include four counts of sexual penetration without consent and three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.
He is also accused of impeding the woman’s breathing or circulation by applying pressure to her neck.
Barrientos, who has not entered a plea, could be forced to remain in WA for several years while he awaits trial.
He didn’t speak to the waiting media when he emerged from the court building today.
Dressed in a cream and white hoody, which was pulled over his head, grey trousers and white trainers, he blew a kiss to a small group of screaming fans.
He walked briskly to a waiting black Mercedes van before being driven away.
Barrientos’s strict bail conditions include surrendering his passport, supplying a $100,000 security and reporting to police seven days a week.
His Wikipedia page says he was born in Colombia.
He started his YouTube career in 2013 and music career in 2017.
He has also appeared on numerous television shows, including BBC’s Hot Property, which he hosted in 2018.
