The jury cleared him of rape but convicted him on two assault counts over bite injuries, leaving prosecutors to decide on three unresolved charges.
- On Friday, a Perth District Court jury found British YouTuber Yung Filly, real name Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, not guilty of three counts of sexual penetration without consent while convicting him of two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.
