UK rapper Yung Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, was found not guilty of three counts of sexual penetration without consent following a court hearing in Perth, Australia.
Despite the acquittal, a jury could not reach a decision on three additional counts of the same charge, leaving the case unresolved. Barrientos was also found not guilty for an assault occasioning bodily harm and a strangulation charge, while he was convicted on two counts of assault.
The 30‑year‑old entertainer, known for his work with the YouTube collective Beta Squad, remains on bail until 21 August when a sentencing date will be set. Prosecutors are reviewing the hung verdicts to determine whether to press further charges.
Sources say that Barrientos will continue to build his brand through television, including a stint on the celebrity version of Bake Off and hosting BBC Three programs.
