YouTuber and rapper Yung Filly is facing more charges after allegedly raping a woman in a hotel room.

The British musician, who is 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 1.8million YouTube subscribers and millions of Instagram and TikTok followers, will face a 10-day trial on April 20, 2026.

Filly is one of many content creators who have gained fame by building huge online followings and earning income through video ad revenue and brand partnerships.

Born in Colombia, he moved to the UK at the age of two with his single mother and two siblings.

After leaving school and trying his hand at working as a broker, he began posting comedy skits online himself and with collaborators and began a music career in 2017.

This lead to TV presenting jobs, including BBC’s Hot Property, which he hosted in 2018.

He was previously fined and banned from driving for six months after he pleaded guilty to reckless driving in November while on bail.
