UK YouTuber Yung Filly charged with raping woman in Australia hotel room
The rapper also allegedly choked the woman following a music performance at a Perth nightclub
A British YouTuber and rapper known as Yung Filly has been charged with raping and choking a woman in a hotel room following an Australian music performance.
The 29-year-old, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, was freed on bail when he appeared on Thursday on several charges in a court in Perth, the west coast city where police allege his crimes were allegedly committed on September 28.
His bail conditions include that he remain in Western Australia state, does not contact his alleged victim and does not post about the case on social media.
He was ordered to surrender his passport and to report to police daily. His surety was set at A$100,000 (US$67,400).
Prosecutors had opposed bail because of a risk that he would flee the state.
His lawyer, Seamus Rafferty, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday.
