Overview
- The trial entered its second week with Yung Filly, real name Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, giving evidence on Monday and denying he raped or violently assaulted the 20‑year‑old fan.
- He admitted biting the woman on her face, neck and breasts and described the marks as 'love bites', while denying choking, slapping and the more serious acts alleged by the complainant.
- Prosecutors have shown graphic photos, CCTV from the Bar1 venue and InterContinental Hotel, and forensic testimony including a dentist who said some bruising was likely caused by biting.
- Barrientos told jurors his security removed the woman’s phone before the hotel room visit and said this was standard privacy practice, a claim that prosecutors dispute.
- Court security was tightened after social media breaches and a juror was discharged, leaving the jury to weigh competing credibility and the physical evidence before it.
