British YouTube star arrested for raping tourist in Spain
UK rapper Yung Filly is being investigated for rape after performing at a concert in Magaluf last summer
A Palma de Mallorca court is investigating rape allegations against famous British rapper and YouTuber Yung Filly following his concert in Magaluf last summer. The young woman filed a complaint when she arrived back in the UK after she learned of similar accusations against Yung Filly in Australia.
According to the alleged victim, the two met at a nightclub on the same day as the concert in Mallorca. The girl went to the hotel with Yung Filly's friend, where they had consensual sex. It was then, according to the complainant's account, that the British singer entered the room with his friend's permission and sexually assaulted her.
The woman decided against reporting the rape in Spain and returned to the UK as planned after her holiday. It was while back home that she learned that a string of other assault complaints had been filed against the rapper when he was in Australia.
As a result, she reported the incident to the authorities in the UK. Guardia Civil officers in Mallorca took her statement and opened an investigation.
The rapper, who was a BBC presenter and also known for his popular YouTube channel, faces another similar charge in Australia. There, he allegedly sexually assaulted another 20-year-old woman after performing at a venue while on tour in September. He is charged with four counts of sexual penetration without consent and three counts of assault causing bodily harm.
The 29-year-old artist, with more than 3 million followers on social media, is free on bail and has denied the charges in Australia.
