British rapper Yung Filly, whose legal name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, will face a retrial in Australia next June after a jury failed to reach a verdict on three rape charges against him.
The performer was cleared in July of several other sexual offence charges he had faced, but jurors remained undecided on the remaining counts, prompting prosecutors to seek a new trial. The case will now return to court in June.
No further details on the underlying allegations, the location of the alleged offences, or Valencia Barrientos's response were included in the reporting available to us, and The American Times has not independently confirmed additional specifics beyond what has been publicly reported by the BBC. We will follow the case through to the retrial and report findings as they are confirmed in court.
