WARNING: This story contains details some readers may find distressing, including descriptions of alleged sexual assault.<\/strong><\/p>\n

British social media personality Yung Filly violently and repeatedly sexually assaulted a young fan in a hotel room during his tour of Australia, a court has heard.<\/p>\n

The alleged victim, who cannot be identified, had a “celebrity crush” on the YouTuber and rapper, the court heard, and had consensual sex with him in his Perth hotel after a nightclub performance in September 2024.<\/p>\n

But the encounter soon became “non-consensual”, and she found herself being physically assaulted, the court was told.<\/p>\n

Yung Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, 30, is on trial in the District Court, accused of sexually assaulting the 20-year-old woman.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Danielle Clarke said the woman was looking forward to seeing his performance at Bar1 at Hillarys Boat Harbour, with her cousin.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor said she had recorded a video saying she “loved Yung Filly and wanted him to be her future husband”.<\/p>\n

The woman wore her “lucky” white top but, the prosecutor said it “turned out to be anything but lucky” for the alleged victim.<\/p>\n

‘You’re coming home with me’<\/p>\n

The woman was allowed into the club’s VIP lounge, where free drinks were available, and she was approached by Mr Barrientos, who seemed interested in her.<\/p>\n

Ms Clarke said the rapper told her “you’re coming home with me tonight”, with the woman believing she was going to a party.<\/p>\n

Soon after they arrived at the Intercontinental Hotel in Hay Street, Mr Barrientos’s bodyguard took her phone.<\/p>\n

Inside the hotel room, the woman had consensual sex with him. But the prosecutor said the rapper became more aggressive, biting her neck, right cheek and breast.<\/p>\n

The alleged victim had told him to stop, but he continued, the court heard.<\/p>\n

Ms Clarke told the jury he held his hand tightly around her neck for a few seconds and slapped her, telling her to say derogatory things.<\/p>\n

After the alleged rape, she was given back her phone and overheard Mr Barrientos saying to his bodyguard that she “wasn’t good in bed”.<\/p>\n
