More charges for UK rapper and YouTube star Yung Filly accused of raping woman
A British YouTuber and musician fighting allegations he raped and choked a woman after a gig has been hit with two more charges, as his trial date is set.
Yung Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, appeared in Perth District Court on Friday.
The 29-year-old is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s in a hotel room following a performance in the city's northern suburbs in September.
He previously pleaded not guilty to four counts of sexual penetration without consent and three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.
The entertainer has also denied impeding the woman's normal breathing or circulation by applying pressure to her neck.
He is now facing two additional counts of sexual penetration without consent, although no plea has been entered.
The additional charges were briefly mentioned in court but not explained and his lawyer declined to discuss the change outside court.
The London rapper, who has 1.8 million YouTube subscribers and millions of Instagram and TikTok followers, will face a 10-day trial on July 20, 2026.
He was arrested in Brisbane and extradited to Perth in October.
Barrientos' 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.
Barrientos was previously fined and banned from driving for six months after he pleaded guilty to reckless driving in November, while on bail.

Dirty backyard fights livestreamed from Melbourne homes
Don't miss out on the headlines from Police & Courts. Followed categories will be added to My News. A man was brutally floored in a backyard fight event with $10,000 cash up for grabs. The suburban backyard was turned into a makeshift boxing ring in which it hosted a number of bouts at the secret location on Saturday afternoon. Ordinary Victorians were seen trading ugly blows in the series of bouts that was highly publicised and livestreamed online. One young contestant was floored after he suffered a huge blow to the chin, falling backward into the temporary fencing. One of the winners was then handed an estimated $5,000 in cash just moments after he claimed victory late on Saturday. A small number of supporters were seen cheering on from the sidelines, filming the bouts on their mobile phones. The backyard brawls were staged in suburban Melbourne with organisers reluctant to disclose the location to followers during the week. Young Victorians mixing in crime circles were among those to have been urged to participate as a way to settle disagreements with rivals. 'Put your knives down, put the guns down and pick your fists up,' the promoter said in a clip last week. Saturday's fight series did not seem to have appeared on the list of promotions and events approved by the Professional Boxing and Combat Sports Board of Victoria. It is unclear whether the fight crew obtained a permit to promote the fight, which is a legal requirement in Victoria. Victoria Police on Friday said they were not aware of the event. The event, which wrapped up just before 5pm, was broadcasted to hundreds of viewers on a live streaming service online. The boxing ring, situated between two homes somewhere in the suburbs, was complete with promotional material plastered across the temporary fencing. The event's promotional video, posted last week to an Instagram audience of nearly 18,000 people, began with a compilation of news headlines from around Melbourne in recent months. Among them were instances of home invasions, machete incidents, street shootings and stabbings across the suburbs. Registered participants were asked a series of questions based on why they wanted to fight. 'Do you consent that you are freely choosing to fight at your own will?,' was one of the questions posed. The legality of the fight event is largely unclear but organisers, and hundreds of their supporters, believe the event was a positive move for young Victorians. It was held as a way to resolve disputes without guns or knives. They say a second fight event is already being planned due to 'overwhelming demand' of interest.

Men jailed for stealing golden toilet from UK mansion
Two men who stole a golden toilet from an English mansion have been sentenced to more than two years in prison. The 18-carat fully functioning toilet was on display as a piece of contemporary art at Blenheim Palace - the country mansion where British wartime leader Winston Churchill was born - when five burglars smashed a window and yanked it from its plumbing in a brazen early-morning raid in September 2019. It was never recovered and was believed to have been chopped up and sold. James Sheen, 40, a roofer who pleaded guilty to burglary, conspiracy and transferring criminal property was sentenced in Oxford Crown Court to four years in prison. Michael Jones, 39, who worked for Sheen and was convicted of burglary at trial, was sentenced to two years and three months. The toilet weighed 98kg and was worth more than its weight in gold, being insured for more than $US6 million ($A9.2 million). The toilet was part of a satirical commentary on consumer culture, titled America, by Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan, whose work of a banana duct-taped to a wall was sold in 2024 for $US6.2 million at auction in New York. "This bold and brazen heist took no more than five-and-a-half minutes to complete," Judge Ian Pringle said in recounting the crime on Friday. "America has never been seen again." The piece that poked fun at excessive wealth had previously been on display at The Guggenheim Museum, in New York, which had offered the work to US President Donald Trump during his first term in office after he had asked to borrow a Van Gogh painting. Jones had booked a viewing of the toilet the day before the theft to take photos, check out the lock and have his own private session on the golden throne. He deemed the experience "splendid" during his testimony. The next morning before dawn the gang of thieves crashed through the wooden gates of the palace in two stolen vehicles and tore well-tended lawns. They pulled up to the estate's courtyard and smashed a window that Jones had photographed the day before. The thieves used sledgehammers and a crowbar to wrench the toilet from its foundation, causing considerable damage to the 18th-century property, a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with valuable art and furniture that draws thousands of visitors each year.
