Video shows Yung Filly at VIP party before alleged rape as friend defends victim against rumors

A video has surfaced showing UK rapper Yung Filly, real name Andrés Felipe Valencia Barrientos, dancing in the VIP section of a Perth nightclub just before he was accused of raping a young fan. 

The footage, taken on September 27, shows the entertainer engaging with female admirers at Bar1 nightclub, moments before the serious allegations were made. 

Yung Filly has since been charged with four counts of rape, three counts of assault causing bodily harm, and one count of impeding the woman’s breathing by applying pressure to her neck.

The British YouTuber-turned-rapper was arrested in Brisbane by Queensland Police and extradited to Perth, where he appeared in court and was released on bail. 

He has been ordered to remain in Western Australia, surrender his passport, and report daily to police. A further court hearing is set for December 19.

As the legal case unfolds, new and disturbing details have emerged about the harassment the alleged victim has faced online. 

Following Yung Filly’s arrest, social media was flooded with unfounded accusations, with some fans of the rapper claiming the victim was a sex worker. 

A close friend of the alleged victim has strongly denied these rumors, saying, "She is not a stripper, has never even stepped foot into a strip club, she does not have an OnlyFans account and never has, and is not a sex worker."

The friend went on to describe the relentless online stalking the victim has endured, revealing that her photos were stolen from her now-deleted social media accounts and posted to explicit forums. 

“Creeps have been putting her photos online, she is the victim!" the friend stated, expressing frustration at the backlash against her friend. The friend further defended the alleged victim’s character, calling her "one of, if not THE, most genuine person to exist."

These revelations raise further concerns about the growing issue of online harassment and victim-shaming, complicating an already highly sensitive case as Yung Filly’s legal battle continues.
