YouTube Star Yung Filly, Alleged to Have Acted Recklessly, is Drawing Attention as He Faces Multiple Charges in Australia
In a recent incident in Australia, YouTuber Yung Filly, whose real name is Andrés Felipe Valencia Barrientos, is reportedly facing new legal troubles as he has been charged with reckless driving. According to police reports, Barrientos was allegedly caught speeding at 158 km/h (98 mph) in a 100 km/h zone on a Perth highway, an incident that occurred on November 17. The incident led to the impounding of his vehicle.
This latest charge comes while Barrientos is already out on bail concerning serious allegations of sexual assault. He is accused of raping a woman in her 20s after meeting her at Bar1 nightclub in Perth while he was touring Australia. The alleged incident took place in September at a hotel following his performance.
Barrientos is set to face the court on November 19, where he will address both the reckless driving charge and the more severe accusations, which include four counts of sexual penetration without consent, three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, and one count of impeding a person’s normal breathing or circulation.
Known for his collaborations with the YouTube collective Beta Squad, Barrientos has gained significant recognition in the entertainment industry, including a Mobo Award for Best Media Personality in 2021. Despite his rising fame, these legal issues have led to significant public scrutiny and the cancellation of his live shows in the UK amid the ongoing investigation.
As he navigates these serious charges, Barrientos’s future in both his career and personal life hangs in the balance, highlighting the complexities that arise when fame intersects with allegations of misconduct.
