Yung Filly update sees star face two new sexual assault charges
Yung Filly - whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos - was charged with rape and other offenses over an alleged sexual assault on a woman in Australia last year British rapper, Yung Filly, is facing two new sexual assault charges relating to the assault of a woman while he was on tour in Australia. Filly - whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos - was charged with rape and other offences over an alleged sexual assault on a woman in the country last year. In March, he pleaded not guilty to three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, one of strangulation and four counts of sexual penetration without consent. However, according to court documents filed on Friday, the YouTuber, 29, faces two new counts of sexual penetration without consent, and no plea has been entered for them. The incident is alleged to have taken place on 28 September. Filly had been touring Australia at the time of the alleged offences. Filly appeared at Perth Magistrates Court for an initial hearing on October 10, 2024 where he was granted conditional bail. The bail terms stated that he did not discuss the case on social media, or contact the alleged victim. The rapper appeared in Perth Magistrates Court for a second time on March 11, 2025, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. He was told to appear in the District Court of Western Australia on July 13. On June 13, two new charges of sexual penetration without consent were filed against Filly. During a court hearing in November, the British-Colombian saw his bail request put on hold until later that day. ABC Australia covered the story, noting that Perth barrister Seamus Rafferty SC is representing the entertainer. Rafferty commented on the denied bail, stating: "This has already made headlines. Given the nature of social media, the nature of people jumping on bandwagons, given the nature of (the) power imbalance between the parties." A TikTok video from Perth's Bar1 Nightclub went viral last year, showcasing Filly – who has appeared in Channel 4's The Great Celebrity Bake Off – performing at the venue. Meanwhile, in a sombre contrast, images depicting injuries allegedly sustained by a woman were presented to the court. "No ordinary person can consent in those circumstances," stated the prosecutor in reference to the gruesome photos, adding: "Across her body is a history of violent acts, ... we say those photos and what is alleged is beyond the pale, beyond what could be considered to be a consensual act." Filly, who was born in Colombia and moved to London aged two as a refugee with his mum and sister began his YouTube career in 2013 before releasing his debut single Take Time in 2017. He went onto host shows Hot Property and Don't Scream on BBC Three and has also appeared in Soccer Aid and The Great Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off. Filly's 10-day trial is scheduled to start on 20 July 2026.

Woman, Who Poisoned Friend's Coffee With Cyanide In 2016, Denies Being Close
Jessica Wongso, the woman convicted of poisoning her 27-year-old friend's coffee in 2016, has been released from prison after eight years. Named the Iced Coffee Killer, Wongso, a permanent resident of Australia, has denied being close to Wayan Mirna Salihin, whom she met at a design college in Sydney, Australia. She also avoided directly answering whether she was responsible for her death. At her press conference, she said she had forgiven everyone who wronged her, reported ABC Australia. She claimed that the two weren't best friends and were just from the same country. After graduation, Ms Salihin went back to Indonesia, while Wongso stayed back, she said. According to the Times, Wongso allegedly arrived at the cafe first, placed shopping bags on the table to block the view of CCTV footage, and then ordered drinks for Ms Salihin and another friend. During the interview, she defended her behaviour, saying she was simply bored and liked to shuffle and play with them. "Oh, it's just me being me. I just put it there, shuffle it and play with it. It really doesn't mean anything at all... just me being bored," she stated. Wongso said that Ms Salihin found the coffee tasted weird and soon became sick. Recalling the moment, she said, "I think she [Ms Salihin] just took a sip and after that, she was saying something like, it tastes really weird and stuff, and after that, she got really sick. And that's it. That's pretty much all I remember," reported PEOPLE. When asked about the murder, she said there were so many things she was not allowed to discuss publicly, including whether she killed her friend. Asked if someone else did it, Wongso simply responded, "Maybe." According to PEOPLE, just when Ms Salihin took a sip of coffee, she immediately collapsed. She was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Wongso was arrested in 2018 after she was found guilty of slipping cyanide into Ms Salihin's Vietnamese coffee at a cafe. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison but was released in 2024 on the condition that she would stay in Jakarta until 2032.

Wongso, dubbed the 'Iced Coffee Killer,' was convicted of the premeditated murder of her 27-year-old friend Mirna Salihin in 2018. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison but was released in 2024 after eight years behind bars, ABC Australia reported. At a press conference after her prison release, Wongso, who has maintained her innocence, told reporters that she had "forgiven everyone who wronged" her, according to ABC Australia. Wongso was accused of slipping cyanide into the friend's iced Vietnamese coffee at an upscale café in Jan. 2016 in Jakarta, Indonesia, per the New York Times. 'This deed was vile and sadistic, committed against her own friend,' said the chief judge, according to the Times. Video footage allegedly showed Wongso arriving first at the café, ordering drinks for Salihin — who she met at a design college in Sydney — and another friend before placing shopping bags on the table to allegedly obstruct the view of closed-circuit television footage, the Times reported. Soon after, Salihin arrived, took a sip of the coffee and then immediately collapsed, according to the Times. She was taken to the hospital where she soon died. During trial, prosecutors argued that Wongso killed Salihin because Salihin had suggested she should break up with a former boyfriend and was jealous that Salihin recently got married, according to the Times. PEOPLE' In an interview on 7News Spotlight, Wongso denied that she was close friends with Salihin. "We weren't close at all,' she told journalist Liam Bartlett. 'We came from the same country. We weren't best friends or anything. After graduation she went back to Indonesia for good and I stayed in Australia." Asked by Bartlett why she placed the three bags on the table, Wongso responded: 'Oh, it's just me being me,' she said. 'Like I just put it there and it's like shuffle it and play with it. And it's like me just, you know, being bored, it really doesn't mean anything at all. Like if I have to be honest with you.' About the moment when Salihin took a sip, Wongso said: 'I think she just took a sip and after that she was saying something like, it tastes really weird and stuff, and after that she got really sick. And that's it. That's pretty much all I remember." When asked about her friend's death by cyanide, Wongso responded, that "There's a lot of things that I'm not allowed to say, like in public, including stating things like I didn't do what people think that I did." 'But if you didn't do it, somebody else did. Right?,' asked Bartlett. 'Maybe. I could only say, maybe,' she replied. As a condition of parole, Wongso is required to stay in Jakarta until 2032, per ABC Australia. Read the original article on People
