Yung Filly update sees star face two new sexual assault charges
Yung Filly - whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos - was charged with rape and other offenses over an alleged sexual assault on a woman in Australia last year British rapper, Yung Filly, is facing two new sexual assault charges relating to the assault of a woman while he was on tour in Australia. Filly - whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos - was charged with rape and other offences over an alleged sexual assault on a woman in the country last year. In March, he pleaded not guilty to three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, one of strangulation and four counts of sexual penetration without consent. However, according to court documents filed on Friday, the YouTuber, 29, faces two new counts of sexual penetration without consent, and no plea has been entered for them. The incident is alleged to have taken place on 28 September. Filly had been touring Australia at the time of the alleged offences. Filly appeared at Perth Magistrates Court for an initial hearing on October 10, 2024 where he was granted conditional bail. The bail terms stated that he did not discuss the case on social media, or contact the alleged victim. The rapper appeared in Perth Magistrates Court for a second time on March 11, 2025, and pleaded not guilty to all charges. He was told to appear in the District Court of Western Australia on July 13. On June 13, two new charges of sexual penetration without consent were filed against Filly. During a court hearing in November, the British-Colombian saw his bail request put on hold until later that day. ABC Australia covered the story, noting that Perth barrister Seamus Rafferty SC is representing the entertainer. Rafferty commented on the denied bail, stating: "This has already made headlines. Given the nature of social media, the nature of people jumping on bandwagons, given the nature of (the) power imbalance between the parties." A TikTok video from Perth's Bar1 Nightclub went viral last year, showcasing Filly – who has appeared in Channel 4's The Great Celebrity Bake Off – performing at the venue. Meanwhile, in a sombre contrast, images depicting injuries allegedly sustained by a woman were presented to the court. "No ordinary person can consent in those circumstances," stated the prosecutor in reference to the gruesome photos, adding: "Across her body is a history of violent acts, ... we say those photos and what is alleged is beyond the pale, beyond what could be considered to be a consensual act." Filly, who was born in Colombia and moved to London aged two as a refugee with his mum and sister began his YouTube career in 2013 before releasing his debut single Take Time in 2017. He went onto host shows Hot Property and Don't Scream on BBC Three and has also appeared in Soccer Aid and The Great Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off. Filly's 10-day trial is scheduled to start on 20 July 2026.

Barrington High School Class of 2025 ‘Never stop climbing that mountain'
The 672 graduates of the Barrington School High School Class of 2025 were celebrated at a ceremony inside Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington on Friday evening, May 30. The Class of 2025 for the Broncos and Fillies had students beginning freshman year during the COVID-19 pandemic. To Pioneer Press, Craig Winkelman, superintendent of schools for Barrington 220 School District, said, 'I'm very proud of them for obviously being able to come back from the pandemic. 'It was hard,' Winkelman said of early COVID-19 years. 'I'm just so happy for our kids and so happy that they get to have a night like tonight.' Jonathan Curbelo of Barrington offered the senior speech, reflecting on a freshman year launched during the COVID-19 pandemic. 'Our greatest challenges are what form our new beginnings because we know that sometimes the sun shines the brightest after the storm hits the hardest,' Curbelo said. 'And when it comes down to it, that's what defines the Class of 2025. 'The sheer will and resolve to carry on through the storm is what defines a Bronco and a Filly,' Curbelo said. 'We have yet to cease facing adversity, but if there's one thing I have learned from BHS, it's that we can choose how we respond and our destiny. 'We can choose who we are, who we will become, and what we do,' said Curbelo, who concluded with, 'Never stop climbing that mountain.' Shreeya Gandhi of South Barrington has plans to become a doctor with no chosen clinical specialty yet. About leaving Barrington High School, 'It feels great, a little bit sad, but obviously I am excited,' Gandhi said. Regarding the pandemic, 'The transition from freshman year was kind of tough on me but I feel like in the end, I think I got used to it and (the pandemic) actually helped me grow as a person a lot more,' Gandhi said. 'Because it helped me adjust to new environments better,' Gandhi added, 'and that way, the pandemic helped me out a lot.' Friends Caroline Langanke of Lake Barrington and Erin Salajean of Barrington also reflected on the pandemic and about having to wear a PPE mask early on. Now for 2025, 'It's definitely different for sure,' Langanke said. 'I think just learning how to navigate life through different situations will definitely grow my future,' Langanke said. To the Class of 2025, 'Have fun, go Fillies, go Broncos,' Salajean said. David Marsinelli of Barrington wore an American patriotic sash with the red gown. Marsinelli was honoring, 'just the freedom that we have. 'I think it's the best country that I ever could have lived in and I think that we should be more grateful for what we have in the United States,' Martinelli added. Cheering for Keana Nicole Cornelissen of South Barrington as the graduate received a diploma, was parent, Cori Cornelissen in a balcony. To Keana, Cori Cornelissen said, 'We are so proud of you and we are so happy for you. 'We can't wait to see what you're going to do from here,' Keana's mother added with a smile. 'We love you so much.'

Coleen Nolan in 'constant pain' after being 'wiped out' in horror injury
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Coleen Nolan has been left in "constant pain" after a dreadful injury incurred while walking her dogs. Loose Women star Coleen revealed she has been forced to wear a leg brace after finding herself limping. It came after she tore her meniscus - knee cartilage - while out with boxer dog Becks and Macedonian labrador Filly. On Loose Women: The Podcast, Coleen explained Becks and Filly were "racing around" as she walked through the fields. Filly ended up running "full pelt" towards Coleen, knocking her over in the process, reports Surrey Live. In conversation with her co-host Jane Moore, Coleen described the incident: "Last year my rescued labrador from Macedonia got very excited around the boxer. I was in a field with them and they raced around, I'm casually walking, and didn't see them coming up behind me at full pelt and she just wiped me out, up in the air. "I knew I'd done something. It was just...'Ooft, that's not good'. You know when you fall and then I got up and thought, 'Oh, that's hurting'. (Image: Getty Images) "Long story short, I tore my meniscus. I would like to say I got it playing football or some kind of sport but no, the dog took me out. "In the last few months it's got really bad again, I'm having physio and I have to wear this leg brace to support it. It's really painful." Coleen said people have been passing comments about her age after noticing her injury. But the star was quick to counter: "All the time I want to go, 'It's nothing to do with my age, that could have happened when I was 20'." Discussing how the injury impacts her daily life, Coleen shared: "It's constant isn't it? I'm trying not to limp because it looks awful but I have to limp because if I don't limp, it hurts even more, so everything is a bit of an effort at the moment." (Image: ITV) Last year Coleen moved to a farm in North Staffordshire. She shares the plot with her 29 pets, some of which have been rescued, reports the Liverpool ECHO. Initially, the former singer intended to keep just six pets, humorously noting her dislike for odd numbers. However, in November, she opened her home to Buster, a 14-year-old rescue dog, after her daughter Ciara spotted him in a local sanctuary. On Loose Women, Coleen recounted: "So I'd already decided we have too many animals - so no more animals. But then Ciara sent me this video saying this little dog is in the rescue centre, he's 14. "The people who owned him have just died, and the dog he grew up with has just died, and she said, 'No, my mum's not going to take it'. He's 14, and it's really, really hard to find adopters for older dogs, but when I went to see him in the sanctuary, he just cried, and he was trembling because he didn't want to go back in, and I was like, oh, we'll foster him. There was no way I'd give this dog back."
