Rapper Yung Filly Faces Rape Retrial in Australia
The News
British rapper and YouTuber Yung Filly will be retried in Australia on three rape charges after a jury failed to reach a verdict at his first trial, the BBC, Sky News, The Independent and the Daily Mail reported Friday.
The charges allege he raped a woman — described by The Independent as a fan — in Australia after a music performance about two years ago.
The Independent also reported that a new drug charge has been laid against him.
Timeline
the alleged rape takes place in Australia following one of his performances, according to Sky News and The Independent.
a jury clears the YouTuber of several sexual assault offences but cannot reach a decision on three others, the BBC reported.
news breaks that prosecutors will retry him on the three outstanding rape charges, and that a further drug charge has been filed.
Reactions
The decision to retry is the prosecution's: having secured no verdict on three counts, Australian prosecutors are pressing ahead rather than dropping them.
Coverage of the case has been split between his acquittals and the counts left unresolved. The BBC noted the jury cleared him of several sexual assault offences while deadlocking on three; the Daily Mail led on the retrial itself.
None of the reports carried a public comment from the rapper on the retrial decision.
What's Next
A second trial on the three rape charges will now be scheduled in Australia. The new drug charge reported by The Independent will proceed separately through the courts.
No trial date was given in the reports.

Yung Filly built his following as a social media celebrity in Britain before touring Australia, where the allegations arose. He remains cleared of the sexual assault counts the jury decided last month; only the three deadlocked rape charges are being retried.
