British rapper Yung Filly, whose legal name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, will face a retrial in Australia on three counts of rape after a jury failed to reach a verdict on those charges during his initial eight-day trial at Perth’s District Court of Western Australia. The jury acquitted him of several other sexual assault offenses last month.
Prosecutors confirmed on Thursday their intent to proceed with the new trial, which will focus on the three counts of sexual penetration without consent. No right-leaning outlets reported on this story; coverage is limited to BBC US and GB News. The 30-year-old rapper and online personality had pleaded not guilty to all charges.
This retrial follows an initial trial where jurors were unable to agree on a verdict regarding the three rape charges, leading to the current decision to pursue a second hearing. The outcome of this second trial remains to be seen.
