More charges for UK rapper 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 April 20, 2026. He was arrested in Brisbane and extradited to Perth in October. Barrientos's 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.

Shocking update in suspected drowning of US influencer's son
American influencer Emilie Kiser was reportedly not at home at the time of her three-year-old son's suspected drowning in the family swimming pool. Trigg Kiser died on May 18, days after he was reportedly found unconscious in the family's backyard pool in Arizona on May 12, according to the Chandler Police Department. The lifestyle influencer, who boasts more than 4.6 million followers across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, has remained silent about the tragedy, but has filed for a lawsuit requesting all records of Trigg's death be kept private — including distressing footage of the incident. A source close to the tragic situation told People the 26-year-old was not home at the time of the reported drowning. It's also understood Kiser wants footage of the ordeal to remain out of public hands so she doesn't have to 'relive the aftermath through viral videos.' 'With her motion, Emilie Kiser is urging the court to keep private the footage and records related to her young son's death — a deeply personal, and reasonable, plea to prevent the public release of the most traumatic moment of her life,' the insider said. The source added that while Kiser's 'public profile does not negate her right to privacy,' it also doesn't 'make her son's death a matter for public consumption.' Kiser also filed a personal declaration about her grief and trauma, People reported. On June 3, a judge granted her temporary confidentiality on her request for privacy. Official documents obtained by the New York Post stated Trigg died in an 'accidental drowning' at the family's home. In the original filing, Kiser's lawyer said the family 'desperately want to grieve in private, but sadly, the public will not let them.' Her attorney added that the toddler's death 'has become a media frenzy.' In a statement issued on behalf of the Chandler Police Department, spokesperson Sonu Wasu told People that Trigg was hospitalised after authorities responded to a drowning call on May 12. He was taken to Chandler Regional Medical Centre and then to Phoenix Children's Hospital in critical condition, according to AZ Central. Kiser and her husband Brady are also parents to son Theodore, who was born in March.
