Rapper Yung Filly to return to Britain before Australian rape trial next year

British rapper Yung Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, can return to Britain before facing trial in Australia next year for alleged rape, a judge ruled on Thursday. Barrientos, 31, was convicted of assaulting a woman in a Perth hotel room in September 2024 but acquitted of three rape charges. Prosecutors stated they would retry him on the rape charges in 2027, though a delay is possible.

Judge Linda Black changed his bail conditions to allow Barrientos to remain in Britain until he is needed for the retrial. He must return to Australia 10 days before the trial and surrender his passport within 24 hours of returning. Barrientos is prohibited from contacting the alleged victim or a key prosecution witness, and he cannot publicly comment on the case.
