what happened to filly

Yung Filly (Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos) has been largely absent from YouTube and mainstream content because he is facing serious criminal charges in Australia connected to an alleged sexual assault during his 2024 tour.

Quick Scoop: What happened to Filly?

In late 2024, Yung Filly was arrested in Australia after a woman in her 20s accused him of raping and assaulting her in his hotel room in Perth, following a nightclub performance during his tour. Police in Western Australia charged him with multiple offences, including several counts of sexual penetration without consent, assault causing bodily harm, and impeding breathing (choking).

He was initially held in custody, then granted bail under tight conditions: he had to stay in Western Australia, report daily to police, avoid any contact with the complainant, and was effectively barred from posting about the case on social media. This explains why his usual online output stopped and why he disappeared from Beta Squad and other public projects for a long stretch.

New charges and current legal status

As the case moved through the courts, prosecutors laid further charges of sexual penetration without consent linked to the same incident. Filly has pleaded not guilty to the original charges and, at the time of the additional counts being filed, had not yet entered pleas on the new ones.

A 10‑day trial has been scheduled to start in July 2026, meaning the legal situation is still unresolved and no court has delivered a final verdict on the allegations. Separate from the sex‑offence allegations, he also admitted a reckless driving charge in Western Australia after being caught speeding at high velocity on a Perth highway.

Travel back to the UK

After roughly a year restricted to Western Australia on bail, a judge later agreed to relax his conditions so he could temporarily return to the UK. He was granted permission to travel home for almost four months and is required to be back in Western Australia by early January 2026, then surrender his passport again so he remains available for trial.

Australian news reports have noted that, depending on how bail conditions evolve, he could spend some time in the UK before needing to return for the July 2026 trial. This has led to new forum threads and social posts asking if “Filly is back” whenever he’s spotted or rumored to be in the UK.

Forum and fan discussion

On Reddit and other fan spaces, there have been intense debates about “the Filly situation,” with some users convinced he is guilty and others arguing that people should wait for the court outcome. Many communities have also reminded users not to dox, harass, or attack either the alleged victim or Filly, given the case is ongoing and the allegations have not yet been proved in court.

Because the charges involve alleged sexual assault and choking, coverage often includes content warnings, and moderators on fan subs have had to lock or heavily moderate some threads. Overall, the combination of legal restrictions, reputational damage, and community rules has pushed most official and fan projects to pause collaboration with him until the trial concludes.

Key points in plain terms

• Filly is facing multiple charges in Australia, including rape and assault, from an alleged incident in a Perth hotel room in late September 2024.

• He has pleaded not guilty to the main charges, and the case has not yet been decided in court.

• He spent about a year stuck in Western Australia on strict bail but later got permission to go back to the UK temporarily under amended conditions.

• A long trial is set for July 2026, so this story is still developing and may change as new court information comes out.

• Online, fans and forums are split, and many spaces are urging people to avoid harassment and to remember that these are allegations until a verdict is reached.
