Popular UK online media personality and rapper Yung Filly was found not guilty of rape charges following the conclusion of deliberations in his trial in Australia on Friday.

A jury absolved Filly of several major charges, which include three counts of sexual penetration without consent in connection with allegations of sexually assaulting a fan following his performance at a nightclub in Australia in 2024.

While he avoided guilt of the severe charges, the YouTuber was, however, found guilty on two counts of occasioning bodily harm to the accuser, a then-20-year-old woman who alleged sexual assault after going to his hotel in a suburb in Perth, as per BBC

The jury was, however, stuck at an impasse on three other counts of rape. Barrientos was also found not guilty of one count of assault occasioning bodily harm and strangulation, the BBC reports. His sentencing date is said to be decided on August 21.
