UK rapper Yung Filly has been found not guilty of raping a fan after performing at a nightclub in Australia in 2024.
The YouTuber, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, had been accused of sexually assaulting the woman, then 20 years old, in his hotel room after he performed in Hillarys, a coastal suburb of Perth.
On Friday a jury found him not guilty for three counts of sexual penetration without consent.
But the jury could not come to a decision on three other counts of the same charge.
Barrientos was also found not guilty for one count of assault occasioning bodily harm and also for strangulation.
But he was found guilty for two counts of assault.
The 30-year-old social media star will remain on bail until 21 August, when the court will decide his sentencing date.
Prosecutors will also decide on the next steps on the hung jury verdicts - whether to press ahead or not on those charges.
Barrientos is known for his work with the YouTube collective Beta Squad, and has appeared in the celebrity version of Bake Off on Channel 4 and presented BBC Three shows.
