UK YouTuber Yung Filly Arrested in Australia on Sexual Assault Charges

Yung Filly, a YouTuber from the UK, has been arrested in Australia over rape and assault charges. On October 8,  he was arrested in the Australian city of Brisbane. Then, he was flown to Perth in Western Australia on October 9. He faced four charges of sexual assault without consent, three charges of intentional assault, and one charge of strangulation.

A justice court in Perth Magistrates Court heard Barrientos’ case. The magistrate was also shown photographs of the injuries sustained by the woman, which were inflicted on her body. As for the pictures, the prosecution said, “No ordinary person can consent in those circumstances.”

According to ABC Australia, the police prosecutor, Julius Depetro, was against the bail. He told the court that this has already been the subject of reports of the news and is headlined.

However, after taking the morning to review the submissions, Magistrate Tanya Watt decided to grant Barrientos bail. She acknowledged that there would be a long wait until his charges were settled.

However, she imposed several limitations.

This means that when Barrientos fights the consent and other charges that police prosecutors say they may file, he will stay out of WA. And most importantly, Barrientos will not be allowed to update his millions of followers on social media on the case.

He would provide self-bail for $100,000 on his script. Moreover, he would also surrender a passport with restrictions, and he would have to report to the Northbridge Police Station three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

He would only go up to 500 meters to the complainant or other witnesses. He would also be banned from any hotels and nightclubs. Yung Filly will next appear in court in December.

The recent report has provoked several reactions online. Some take the case that it is hard to believe, while many others stress the need to consider such matters. Many have taken specific social media sites to speak on issues concerning the implications for the public, the celebrities, and the responsibility.

The social media content enjoys great fame and popularity thanks to his humorous videos on YouTube and Instagram. Filly’s fans shared posts on the bar’s social media pages.

Someone said, “Free the filly man.”

A second person commented, “I need to know Chunkz’s response to what he allegedly did.”

A third person wrote, “This broke my heart.”
