NEWSAR · AI

UK YouTuber Yung Filly, real name Christian Barrientos, was found not guilty of rape in Perth, Australia, following an incident in 2024. However, he was found guilty of two counts of assault. The court heard that the woman accused Barrientos of biting, bruising, and attempting to choke her after consensual sexual activity in his hotel room. Photos of bruises and bite marks were presented as evidence. Barrientos admitted to biting the woman, describing it as a "love bite," but denied she had repeatedly asked him to stop. Prosecutors described him as an "entitled" individual who violated the fan, while his defense argued the accuser's testimony was inconsistent.
