Young Feeley was charged with reckless driving while on bail for rape in Australia

YouTuber Young Philly is facing new charges of reckless driving, according to reports in Australia, where he has been accused of raping a woman.

Police accuse the 29-year-old, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, of driving in front of a speed camera at 158 ​​kilometers per hour (98 mph) on the Perth Highway last month.

This is alleged to have happened while Barrientos was out on bail over an alleged attack on a woman at a Perth hotel in September.

The BBC has contacted Barrientos representatives for comment.

When contacted for comment, police said they were unable to confirm the charges by name, but said a 29-year-old man had been charged with reckless driving.

Police say the speeding accident occurred on November 17, in the High Wycombe area of ​​Perth, where the speed limit is 100 kilometers per hour, and his car was impounded.

Barrientos will appear in court charged with reckless driving on December 19, where he will also appear on four counts of sexual penetration without consent, three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, and one count of obstructing a person’s normal breathing or blood circulation by applying pressure on or to their neck.

Barrientos allegedly brought a woman in her 20s back to his hotel room after performing at Bar1 nightclub in Perth. The rapper was on tour in Australia performing his music.

Barrientos is best known for his work with the YouTube collective Beta Squad and has presented shows on BBC Three.

He has also appeared in the UK on ITV’s Soccer Aid and Channel 4’s Stand Up to Cancer Great Celebrity Bake Off.

Barrientos won the 2021 Mobo Media Personality of the Year Award.
