British YouTuber and rapper Yung Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, has been extradited from Queensland to Perth after being charged with multiple serious sexual assault offenses.

The 29-year-old is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s in a hotel room following his performance at Bar1 Nightclub in Hillarys, Perth, on September 28.

Footage shows the rapper being escorted through an airport in handcuffs by two officials as he was transferred to Perth for a court hearing.

Barrientos faces charges that 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 by applying pressure to their neck.

He appeared at Perth Magistrates Court, where his bail hearing was adjourned. The accusations remain unproven, and Barrientos is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

The rapper, known for his collaborations with YouTubers Chunkz and Beta Squad, had been on tour in Australia, performing in multiple cities including Perth and the Gold Coast.

Despite his legal troubles, Yung Filly continues to maintain a large social media presence, boasting over three million followers on Instagram and nearly two million subscribers on YouTube. His rise to fame began in 2013, leading to mainstream success with his BBC show "Hot Property" and various brand partnerships with companies like ASOS and McDonald's.
