COPS investigating Yung Filly are hunting a key witness who was reportedly with the YouTuber on the night he allegedly raped a woman.
The rapper, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, is set to be stuck in Western Australia for over two years as he waits to go on trial.
Officers are now carrying out their investigation into the alleged sex attack that happened in the early hours of September 28.
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.
Filly is unable to leave Western Australia for the next six months due to strict bail conditions placed on him.
He paid a $100,000 (£50,000) bail fee and has to visit a police station each day and is banned from contacting the alleged victim.
Court documents have also revealed the moments leading up to the crimes police claim Filly committed.
The alleged victim, a university student, was with a friend in the VIP section of the Perth show Filly was performing.
She was said to have been drinking throughout the night until the early hours of the following day.
Once Filly had stopped performing and the club started to close the young woman is believed to have met up with the social media star.
The woman phoned her friend at around 5.31am – which detectives believe was immediately after the alleged assault, according to the documents.
Seamus Rafferty, Yung Filly‘s lawyer, claims the woman didn’t mention any form of sexual misconduct in the short conversation to the pal.
WA Police Prosecutor Julius Depetro says despite the video, figuring out “what happened within that room will be the issue”.
He also claims prosecutors have photographs of the alleged victim which show a “history of what we say is violent acts”.
Police arrested the rapper in Brisbane, on Australia’s east coast, and flew him six hours back across the Outback to Perth.
Footage showed Filly being escorted through Perth airport with his hands cuffed in front of him on Wednesday flanked by two officials.
Further footage shows the influencer – who landed his own BBC show called Hot Property in 2019 – being placed in the back of a car.
The internet star was rapidly dropped by several brands and companies following the allegations.
FootAsylum, the Football Association (FA), Heinz and ASOS are among the biggest names to part ways with the internet personality.
One of Filly’s closest pals and fellow YouTuber, Chunkz, whose real name is Amin Mohamed, spoke out about the case for the first time last week.
In a clip posted to Instagram, he said: “Like everyone I’ve heard the reports coming out of Australia.
“While I understand many of you want my reaction on it, as this is an ongoing court case I hope you guys understand that I can’t and won’t be commenting on it publicly, so yeah I’ve just come on here to basically let you know the reasons as to why I can’t. Love.”
The pair worked together on their podcast The Chunkz and Filly Show and were due to put on a live show last week.
The show was quickly axed as organisers Troxy offered ticket-holders a refund.
It comes as The Sun spoke to a mum who has accused Filly of breaking her terminally ill son’s heart after he failed to keep a promise he made to the youngster.
The YouTuber told Mason Greaves, 12, he was there to “support him” and challenged him to a game of Fortnite in a video.
YUNG Filly’s rise to fame saw him start out as a social media star.
The influencer got his big break on YouTube before moving into mainstream TV.
Although he goes by Yung Filly, his real name is Andres Felipé Barrientos.
He was born on August 6, 1995, and moved to the UK from Colombia when he was two years old.
Filly then relocated to southeast London during his childhood.
When asked what it was like growing up in the capital, he told Indy100: “I come from the bottom of the barrel…and that’s why I’m so grateful for the position I’m in now.
“My mum definitely shaped me with the lessons she taught me.
“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.”
Filly is best known for being a member of the comedy group known as The Wall of Comedy.
He is affiliated with fellow YouTuber Chunkz and the pair have collaborated on many videos and tracks.
Over the years, Filly has also taken part in The Sidemen‘s Charity Football Match, organised by members Josh Bradley, Simon Minter, Tobi Brown, KSI, Ethan Payne, Vikram Barn and Harry Lewis.
A TERROR drone attack launched by Hezbollah directly hit Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s seaside residence inside Israel.
Declassified images shared by Israeli authorities show the extent of damage caused by one of the drones that managed to elude the Israeli air defences.
The pictures, previously censored by the Israeli military, reveal a massive crack in the leader’s bedroom window along with scorch marks on the wall.
It is understood that the flying projectile narrowly missed entering the home because of reinforced glass and other protective measures.
Huge shards of glass were found floating on the water in the swimming pool while other damaged bits from the building were seen scattered around Netaunyahu’s backyard.
It is understood that three drones launched by Hezbollah entered Israeli airspace on Saturday after eluding the air defences.
Two of them were shot down after the breach.
But one managed to hit his vacation home in Caesarea – an affluent resort town in the centre of the country.
Footage posted on social media appeared to show an Israeli chopper hunting down what is believed to be one of the drones that was part of the wider attack.
Netanyahu, 74 and his wife Sara, 65, were unharmed.
The IDF said: “One additional UAV hit a structure in the area of Caesarea. No injuries were reported.”
A local resident told Israeli Channel 12: “Suddenly a large explosion was heard and it was not clear to us if it was from an interception or a drone impact.
“It was very worrying; luckily, there are no casualties.”
Another resident added: “It was not clear what was happening, then there was a huge explosion, very strong.”
In a rare video statement posted on social media, a defiant Netanyahu reacted to the attack and said: “Nothing will deter us.”
Filmed wearing a black polo shirt and sunglasses, The Israeli leader added: “We’re in an existential war, and we’re continuing to the end.”
Military commanders believe he was targeted by a revenge strike after his forces killed both Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, followed by Hamas kingpin Yahya Sinwar last week.
Netanyahu alleged that the drone strike was part of an assassination attempt plotted by Iran.
He said: “The agents of Iran who tried to assassinate me and my wife today made a bitter mistake.”
He said the attack would not deter him from continuing the war and that anyone who harmed Israelis would pay “a heavy price”.
An Israeli investigation today confirmed Iranian involvement in the attack.
Sources told The Saudi Al-Hadath TV channel: “Officials at the Iranian embassy in Beirut are involved in the assassination attempt on Netanyahu.”
Iranian officials meanwhile tried to downplay the situation but confirmed the drones were indeed launched by Hezbollah.
Although Tehran denied any involvement in the drone strike that appeared to “eliminate Netanyahu”.
Iran has also vowed to respond to any Israeli attack – saying it has “no red lines”.
Israel is now expected to launch a retaliatory strike after Iran attacked the country with almost 200 ballistic missiles targeting the civilian population.
Live footage from Israel showed hundreds of ballistic missiles being shot down by Israeli air defences over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Air raid sirens blared across the country as innocent Israelis scrambled to take cover in their homes, under bridges, and in bomb shelters.
Deafening explosions have also been heard in the Jordan Valley, which sits on the border between Jordan and the West Bank.
it was an audacious move from Tehran that threatened to push the region into an all-out war.
But in a setback to both Jerusalem and Washington, secret plans showing Israel’s preparation for a revenge strike on Iran were leaked last week.
The alleged documents, marked as “top secret”, are said to contain US intelligence analysing Israel’s inevitable retaliation plan against Iran.
Parts of the leaked document, dated October 15 and 16, reportedly contain satellite imagery appearing to show Israel’s preparation of munitions and military drills, according to the New York Times.
Others describe the assessment of the Israeli Air Force exercising long-range ballistic and air-to-surface missiles – believed to be planned for a potential strike against Iran.
The documents also suggest Israel was conducting covert surveillance on Iran using advanced drone technology.
The Sun is not directly quoting or showing the information from the leaked documents.
Speaking of the intel leak, senior US officials privately acknowledged the documents were authentic, but suggested they were not a comprehensive assessment of Israel’s full retaliation plan against Iran.
They said the documents only outlined the information US intelligence analysts could gather as of the time of the document.
However, US officials told CNN the leak is “deeply concerning”.
Parts of the highly sensitive documents began circulating in Telegram after being posted by an account called Middle East Spectator, The Telegraph reports.
The account claims not to have any affiliations to the Iranian regime – and is said to be managed by a bunch of independent journalists who refer to the Israeli government as the “Zionist Regime”
Although the New York Times reported that the documents have been discussed largely by pro-Iranian groups.
Hezbollah fired a salvo of more than 100 rockets into Israel, killing at least one person and injuring others in the northern region of the country.
Footage shared by the IDF shows a building destroyed by the rocket attack that was launched from Lebanon targeting innocent Israeli people.
Posting the clip on X/Twitter, the IDF said: “Hezbollah fires rockets indiscriminately, and this is the result.”
Israel launched its ground operation in Lebanon earlier this month to weaken Hezbollah and push the terror group away from the border to allow displaced Israelis to return.
IDF has been striking multiple targets inside Lebanon which they claim are Hezbollah strongholds.
Some of the buildings struck were Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters and an underground weapons workshop in Beirut, Israel claims.
The Israeli military also issued fresh evacuation warnings for civilians staying in Beirut’s southern suburb.
IDF Col. Avichay Adraee said: “You are in the vicinity of Hezbollah facilities, which the IDF will operate against in the near future.”
Israel is now at war with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon – both Iran-backed militant groups.
The IDF have been striking parts of northern Gaza, claiming they are aiming to wipe out Hamas brutes.
But the strikes have also killed scores of Palestinians who were present in the densely populated area.
More than 42,000 Palestinians have been killed in the war so far, according to Gaza-run health centres.
The figure also includes Hamas terrorists.
