Yung Filly Denies Rape Charges

The 30-year-old content creator faces six counts of sexual penetration without consent, three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, and one count of impeding normal breathing or circulation. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Meeting in the VIP Area and the Journey to the Hotel

The sequence of events began after a concert performance in Hillarys, a coastal suburb of Perth, where the complainant had approached the rapper after his set at the Bar1 venue. Prosecutors previously detailed that the young woman, who had just turned 20 at the time of the encounter, was a fan who recorded a video shortly before the gig expressing a wish for him to be her future husband.

Under cross-examination by state prosecutor Danielle Clarke, he admitted that he singled her out because she was attractive and had big breasts, and that inviting her back to his hotel room meant he wanted to have sex with her, though he did not state that intention aloud at the time.

At approximately 3am, Barrientos, the young woman, and members of his entourage left the venue and drove to the Intercontinental Hotel in Perth’s central business district.

Testimony Concerning the Hotel Room Encounters

Once inside room 217 at the hotel, the accounts diverge sharply between the prosecution and the defense. Barrientos told the court that the pair engaged in consensual sexual activity, describing the experience by stating that the sex was great and that there was grunting and moaning in a good way with no discomfort expressed.

However, the state’s case asserts that the interaction turned violent when the rapper ignored the woman’s withdrawal of consent, continuing to assault her while restricting her breathing and leaving her with extensive injuries. Prosecutors showed graphic photographic evidence to the jury displaying severe bruising across the complainant’s face, neck, and breasts, alongside a bite wound on her right breast that required a tetanus shot at a hospital.

While Barrientos denied choking, slapping, or penetrating the woman without her consent, he admitted to biting her neck, face, and breasts during the encounter. He testified that he did not seek her explicit consent for those actions, comparing the bites to what in England would be called a love bite. He maintained under questioning that she did not tell him to stop or indicate pain, stating that there was no ‘ow’, there was no ‘stop’, there was no you’re hurting me.

Legal Context and Subsequent Charges

The legal proceedings stem from an arrest in October 2024, following a formal report filed with Western Australia Police by the complainant the day after the incident. Initially, Barrientos faced four counts of sexual penetration without consent, three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, and one count of impeding normal breathing. In January 2025, prosecutors added two additional sexual penetration charges, bringing the total count to ten.

The entertainer, who maintains a massive digital footprint with millions of followers across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, was granted bail following his initial charges. He was permitted to travel back to the United Kingdom in September for a four-month period before returning to Western Australia to face the legal proceedings. The trial is scheduled to last for two weeks in the District Court.

Concluding Remarks From the Witness Stand

As his testimony continued, Barrientos described the aftermath of the encounter in the hotel room, stating that he ordered a burger via room service and called an Uber to send the complainant away. He also testified that he made a remark to a member of his entourage as she prepared to leave, indicating that she wasn’t good in bed.

The trial before the Western Australian District Court continues as jurors weigh the conflicting testimony and forensic evidence.
