British rapper Yung Filly will face a rape retrial in Australia next June after a jury failed to reach a verdict during an earlier trial.
In July, a jury acquitted the 31-year-old of three counts of rape, one of assault and one of strangulation but found him guilty of two assault charges.
A fan, aged 20 at the time, alleges Barrientos repeatedly raped and assaulted her in his hotel room in Perth, Western Australia, after a 2024 concert.
On Friday, Perth's District Court set 15 June as the start date for the retrial which is expected to last eight days.

This is BBC News (Australia)'s report shortened to its most important sentences, in plainer words, with
verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives
that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations
are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure
this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
