British YouTuber and rapper Yung Filly, whose legal name is Andres Felipé Barrientos, was acquitted of rape charges by a jury in Perth, Australia. The charges stemmed from an alleged incident in a hotel room following a concert performance in 2024. The legal proceedings concluded with the jury finding the defendant not guilty of the sexual assault allegations.

There is a notable discrepancy in the reporting regarding the outcome of the trial. While BBC News reports that the defendant was found guilty of two counts of assault, other outlets including Sky News and ABC Australia report a full acquittal on the rape charges without mentioning separate assault convictions. The Age provided coverage of a separate, unrelated case involving a Melbourne businessman found guilty of rape, noting that his identity remains suppressed by court order, which highlights the distinct nature of the Yung Filly case compared to other ongoing legal matters in the region.

Legal experts note that the trial drew significant public attention due to the defendant's profile as a prominent social media figure. The court proceedings were held in Perth, where the alleged incident occurred. As of now, the defendant has not issued a detailed public statement regarding the verdict, though the conclusion of the trial marks the end of the criminal proceedings against him in this specific matter.
