British YouTuber Yung Filly has appeared in court accused of raping and choking a woman in his Perth hotel room after a show, according to Australian media reports.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, was arrested and taken into custody in Brisbane on Tuesday, and extradited to Perth on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It is alleged the rapper and BBC presenter sexually assaulted a woman in her 20s in his Perth hotel room after he performed at a venue in Hillarys, a northern coastal suburb of the capital of Western Australia, on 28 September.<\/p>\n

“This investigation is ongoing and Sex Assault Squad detectives urge anyone with information relating to this matter, or any similar incidents, to call Crime Stoppers,” Western\u00a0Australia<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Police said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Filly appeared before Perth Magistrates’ Court on Thursday charged with 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 by applying pressure on, or to, their neck.<\/p>\n

The case was adjourned and he was granted conditional bail, which included a ban on contacting his alleged victim, or posting on social media about the case to his millions of followers, ABC reported.<\/p>\n

Filly, who is touring Australia, appeared in court casually dressed in a grey jumper and spoke only to confirm his name, according to the Australian broadcaster.<\/p>\n

Fans of the star were reportedly in court for the hearing.<\/p>\n

Filly fronts BBC shows Hot Property and Yung Filly’s Celeb Lock-In, and also appeared on Channel 4’s The Great Celebrity Bake Off in 2022.<\/p>\n

He regularly collaborates with fellow YouTube star Chunkz and his Beta Squad collective, and boasts 3.2 million followers on\u00a0Instagram<\/a><\/strong>, 3.2 million on TikTok and 1.8 million subscribers on\u00a0YouTube<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
