Watch moment scowling Yung Filly swears at reporters & blows kisses to fans as he appears in court over rape charge case
THIS is the moment a scowling Yung Filly swears at reporters and blows kisses to fans as he appears in court over his rape charge case.
The rapper, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, is stuck in Western Australia for two years as he waits to face trial.
On Wednesday, he appeared back at a Perth court to change his living address for the strict bail terms ordered by the judge, the Daily Mail reported.
He arrived at the court in a cream hoodie pulled-up over his head scowling as he saw the press pack.
Upon getting out of the van, he exclaimed: “F…… hell” at the sight of the waiting press pack.
Filly, 29, did not talk directly to the gaggle of waiting reporters as he quickly walked into the courthouse.
Inside the courthouse cops had no issue with him changing the address he was bailed to – saying it didn’t “appear to raise any flags at this time”.
On his way back the car, Filly had a smile on his face and the entertainer then took the chance to blow smooches to waiting fans.
One supporter shouts at him: “Yeah, Yung Filly, you’ve got this, don’t stress man, head up high.”
Filly has not yet entered a plea or made a public statement on the charges
Other bail terms remain on Filly – including that he is unable to leave Western Australia until December and had to surrender his passport.
He was also stung with a $100,000AUD (£50,000) bail surety, has to visit a police station each day, and is banned from contacting the alleged victim.
Filly did not request to change any of those restrictions placed on him, according to reports.
Last week, Filly risked breaching his bail conditions, the West Australian reported, after arriving only 20 minutes before the deadline for his reporting requirement.
The accommodation switch comes after WA Police Prosecutor Julius Depetro revealed in court that cops still want to speak to a key witness as part of their probe.
He said: “There was another party that was part of the allegation who was in company with this accused.”
It is not yet clear what relationship that person had to Filly and why they were with him during the time surrounding the allegation.
Depetro also said there would be other witnesses police would speak to from other parts of the night.
Cops investigating him say they have an “extremely strong” case that includes CCTV footage of the social media star on the night of the alleged offences.
They say they have seen CCTV footage that confirms Filly was with the 20-year-old woman on September 28 – when she alleges the assault took place.
Filly’s lawyer said his client “will need to lead a fairly quiet existence for a while”.
Police arrested the rapper in Brisbane on October 10 and flew him six hours back across the Outback to face a court.
Footage showed Filly being escorted through Perth airport with his hands cuffed in front of him flanked by two officials.
Filly, who has 1.8m subscribers on YouTube, is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s in his Perth hotel on September 28.
The alleged assault unfolded after a performance at Bar1 Nightclub in the suburb of Hillarys on the night of September 27.
Detectives from Western Australia Police’s sexual assault squad charged Filly with four counts of sexual penetration without consent.
They also arrested him on three counts of assault and one count of impede a person’s normal breathing or circulation by applying pressure to their neck.

“She’s a single mum with three kids, my dad was a s*** dad so she just had to make it happen.
“She did loads of cleaning jobs. My mum worked at Poundland at the time I had some mad BBC series…just getting my mum out of the position she was in was just the biggest motivation.”
