A woman dreamt about having a relationship like David and Victoria Beckham’s marriage with British YouTuber and rapper Yung Filly before he allegedly raped and assaulted her at a Perth hotel, a court has been told.
Yung Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, 30, is on trial after pleading not guilty to multiple charges of rape, assault and choking a woman in her 20s after a Perth gig in September 2024.
Under cross-examination the woman, who cannot be named, told the Perth District Court she met Yung Filly at Bar1 nightclub.
On the night of the alleged rape, the woman posted a number of videos to social media, in which she said she was excited about meeting her idol.
The jury was shown videos of the woman at the bar on the night of the alleged attack where she said she was going to marry the rapper and become rich and famous and another of them talking together.
The woman claimed the rapper put his hands down her pants and touched her breast at the nightclub.
The performer’s lawyer David Edwardson put to her that Mr Barrientos never put his hands down her pants or touched her inappropriately in the videos.
“That is not the exact time when that conversation happened because he put his hands down my pants either before or after that video,” she said.
“He said, ‘You’re coming home with me tonight?’” the lawyer asked.
“No, he grabbed my boob and I said ‘you can’t touch that’, he said, ‘really shows your age.’”
When the defence lawyer showed her another video, he said you could hear her saying: “I just got touched by Yung Filly, not in a bad way, in a good way.”
The young woman said at the time she was naive.
“He did, he did touch me in an inappropriate way,” she replied.
The woman, under questioning from Mr Edwardson, agreed Yung Filly was her “favourite celebrity” and that she saw herself “as potentially a Victoria Beckham”.
The woman told the court she could remember being invited back to Yung Filly’s hotel room, but assumed there would be an after-party.
She said she realised they would likely have a sexual encounter when they arrived at the hotel and there were no other girls there and people went to different hotel rooms.
The court was told the encounter was consensual until it escalated and allegedly became violent.
The woman accused the YouTube star of biting, hitting and raping her at the hotel.
She denied lying about being brutalised or violated by Yung Filly at the hotel when being questioned by Mr Edwardson and asked why she did not appear distressed in a short video taken on her phone following the alleged assault.
“I wanted to make sure I stayed calm, I had my high pitch voice on, I acted as calm as possible, I wanted to make sure I didn’t make any scenario more worse than it could have been,” she said.
“I realised each time I said something he hurt me more.”
The woman previously told the court Yung Filly allegedly raped, bit and hit her so hard her face and body were bruised, swollen and injured.
The woman told the court she was excited to meet her idol and thought she was being invited to an after-party with the rapper when she got into a van with the YouTube star and his entourage.
The court was told when they arrived at the hotel, the woman and Yung Filly began having a consensual sexual encounter, but things quickly escalated and turned violent.
The woman alleged she tried to push the rapper off her to stop him from biting her face, and when he told her to stop saying ‘no’, he hit her hard.
“It was hard, very hard, I tried to cover my face, but he got both my hands and pinned me down,” she told the court.
“He pinned me down and hit me again on the left side of my face.”
The woman alleged when the rapper stopped hitting her, he told her to call herself names, but she refused.
“(It was) along the lines of fat pig, Filly’s dirty whore, that was the second two times he hit me when I didn’t say it.
“I was completely scared, I had no feeling in my body after that.
“I knew what had happened to me, I knew I was sexually assaulted or raped. I didn’t know what to do, where to go or what I wanted to do.”
State prosecutor Danielle Clarke told the court that seven hours after meeting her celebrity crush the woman left the hotel with bruises and injuries to her face, neck and body inflicted by Yung Filly during the course of non-consensual sex.
“She did initially engage in consensual sex but without warning found herself being physically assaulted and engaged in acts she did not want despite telling the accused, ‘No’,” she said.
“It was consensual until it wasn’t.”
The trial continues.
