Stern-faced Yung Filly reports to police station in Australia as Brit YouTuber remains on bail over hotel ‘rape’

RAPPER and YouTube star Yung Filly has been seen at a police station in Australia where he faces charges of rape.

The 29-year-old has been banned from leaving the country as cops investigate allegations he assaulted a woman at his hotel last month.

Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, was charged with four counts of sexual penetration without consent.

He is also facing three counts of assault and one count of impeding a person’s normal breathing or circulation by applying pressure to their neck.

Following a court hearing Filly was granted bail after stumping up $100,000AUD (£51,000).

But he is banned from leaving the state and must report to Perth Police Station regularly.

Today the stern-faced rapper was spotted entering the station.

He was snapped dodging reporters questions there just days ago.

The internet star jogged into the building with his hood pulled up over his head and a baseball cap on.

Filly remained inside for just five minutes before leaving and once again refusing to speak to the journalists waiting outside.

He is being made to stay in Australia until December when his second hearing gets underway.

He was rapidly dropped by several brands and companies including FootAsylum, the Football Association (FA), Heinz and ASOS, after news of his arrest broke.

Images of him on German Doner Kebab’s Instagram have also been wiped just weeks after he launched a ‘Special Sauce’ with them alongside fellow YouTuber Harry Pinero.

Cops investigating him say they have an “extremely strong” case that includes CCTV footage of the social media star on the night of the alleged offences.

His defence lawyer argued the victim was drunk at the time of the alleged ordeal, according to Channel 9.

Cops allege that Filly – who was born in Colombia but moved to the UK as a refugee when he was a child – raped her in his hotel.

The rapper was first arrested last Tuesday in Brisbane and transferred to Perth the next day.

He appeared in court where the prosecution said his alleged victim’s body is marked “by a history of violent acts”.

Who is Yung Filly?

YUNG Filly’s rise to fame saw him start out as a social media star.

The influencer got his big break on YouTube before moving into mainstream TV.

Although he goes by Yung Filly, his real name is Andres Felipé Barrientos.

He was born on August 6, 1995, and moved to the UK from Colombia when he was two years old.

Filly then relocated to southeast London during his childhood.

When asked what it was like growing up in the capital, he told Indy100: “I come from the bottom of the barrel…and that’s why I’m so grateful for the position I’m in now.

“My mum definitely shaped me with the lessons she taught me.

“She’s a single mum with three kids, my dad was a s*** dad so she just had to make it happen.

“She did loads of cleaning jobs. My mum worked at Poundland at the time I had some mad BBC series…just getting my mum out of the position she was in was just the biggest motivation.”

Filly is best known for being a member of the comedy group known as The Wall of Comedy.

He is affiliated with fellow YouTuber Chunkz and the pair have collaborated on many videos and tracks.

Over the years, Filly has also taken part in The Sidemen‘s Charity Football Match, organised by members Josh Bradley, Simon Minter, Tobi Brown, KSI, Ethan Payne, Vikram Barn and Harry Lewis.

Everyone can see the blue shell but you need 20/20 vision to spot the sneaky fish in under 7 seconds

ONLY those with a high IQ and perfect vision will be able to solve this fiendish brainteaser in a matter of seconds.

In this sea-themed image, many eyes are looking at you, waiting for you to solve the puzzle.

All you have to do is find the fish among the purple octopuses which are all stretched out on the sea bed.

Some are climbing rocks while others have their tentacles in a box of treasure.

But amid these distractions is a tiny fish trying to stay hidden.

It is not only the sea creatures that are working to distract your eyes from their mission.

The bright pops of colour from the seaweed, blue shells, jewels and fashionable accessories worn by some of the octopuses also draw your eyes away from their focus.

If you can spot the tiny fish in under seven seconds, you should give yourself a pat on the back and celebrate your high-quality vision.

However, if you are struggling, here is a tip that could help.

Rather than overwhelm your brain by taking in the image as a whole, it can often help if you divide it into more manageable parts.

This way, you can give more focus to specific areas and are therefore more likely to spot the finer details that may lead you to the answer.

Solving such brainteasers is an effective way of training your brain and improving creative thinking.

This puzzle is particularly tricky as the creators made the fish the same colour as the octopuses.

It even has the same shape and eye colour making it blend in seamlessly.

Perhaps you should concentrate your focus on the top right-hand quarter of the image.

Try to keep an eye out for things that do not quite fit.

How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me?

Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.

Some benefits include:

  • Cognitive stimulation: Engaging in these activities challenges the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.
  • Problem-solving skills: Regular practice enhances analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
  • Memory improvement: These challenges often require memory recall and can contribute to better memory function.
  • Creativity: They encourage thinking outside the box, fostering creativity and innovative thought processes.
  • Focus and attention: Working on optical illusions and brainteasers requires concentration, contributing to improved focus.
  • Stress relief: The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief.

Have you found the sneaky fish? If not, scroll down to reveal the solution image to find out where it is hiding.

Meanwhile, have a go at some more fun-filled puzzles to put your vision and patience to the test.

In this mind-boggling illusion, everyone can see the mountain but how long does it take you to spot the eagle?

Pet lovers will enjoy this brainteaser as they are tasked with finding a kitten his lost feather in just 12 seconds.

Or, how about this one where you have to find the sleepy cat who decided to rest near a gnarly tree?

Sam’s Club to open new store that will revolutionize self-checkout – cash will become a thing of the past

SAM’S Club bosses are set to open a new store, and customers will notice an obvious layout change.

Members who plan to visit the Grapevine, Texas, location might as well leave their wallets at home as the store will not accept cash.

There will be no traditional or self-checkouts inside the premises, as reported by the NBC affiliate KNWA-TV.

This means shoppers must use the in-house scan-and-go tool to buy groceries.

Customers can scan items and pay for their products using their cell phones.

To scan an item, shoppers must hold their device over the barcode until they see a rectangle.

Shoppers pay for goods while using the app and don’t have to wait in a checkout line.

Chris Nicholas, the CEO of Sam’s Club, described the new outlet as the chain’s first-all digital store.

Execs revealed that floor space is freed up by having no checkouts.

Nicholas told Forbes that the space will be used to display online-only items.

The Grapevine location is reopening to customers after it was hit by a tornado two years ago.

The store change has sparked a mixed reaction online.

One shopper seemed confused about how the transition to scan-and-go technology would benefit elderly members who may not use smartphones.

“There are still a lot of people who don’t use the app and will need assistance to check out,” they said.

Some have even vowed to boycott the chain if a digital-only store appears in their town.

Members also wondered if this change means receipt checks would become a thing of the past.

Sam’s Club made headlines earlier this year when bosses announced they were rolling out new technology designed to eliminate receipt checks.

The wholesaler is one of the retailers that enforce the measure – a policy that has proved controversial among some shoppers.

Sam’s Club workers check receipts to ensure shoppers were charged correctly for goods.

New technology is being rolled out across warehouses where items are verified by a scanner.

This means that workers will not have to show a piece of paper or digital receipt to a worker.

So far, scanners have been rolled out in at least 120 warehouses, but bosses hope to have them in all 600 by the end of the year.

The U.S. Sun has reported how the technology has caused division – despite bosses’ intentions.

Some are sceptical while others have welcomed the new change as it means the end of a receipt check.

Americans to get up to $4,400 as part of data breach settlement – just a bank statement needed to get money

AMERICANS could get up to an unbelievable $4,400 as part of a data breach settlement – and just a bank statement is needed to get the cash.

The Green Valley settlement looks to resolve claims that the pecan producer should have done more to prevent a data breach in 2022.

If you received a data breach notification from Green Valley Pecan Company you may be in luck[/caption]

For those who received a data breach notification from Green Valley Pecan Company informing them they may have been impacted by a 2022 cyber attack – you’re in luck.

According to the plaintiffs, Green Valley failed to protect their information from a data breach in May 2022 that compromised their personal information.

The plaintiffs also argue that Green Valley could have prevented or mitigated the data breach by implementing reasonable cyber security measures.

The pecan producer based in Arizona hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve the situation.

Under the terms of the Green Valley settlement, class members can receive up to an impressive $400 for ordinary data breach losses.

These include bank fees, phone charges, travel expenses, credit costs and up to three hours of lost time – compensated at a rate of $15 per hour.

But for those who suffered extraordinary losses – like fraud and identity theft – you can receive additional reimbursement of up to an unbelievable $4,000.

In addition to these reimbursement payments, all class members can receive two years of free credit for monitoring and identity theft protection.

But hurry if you are entitled as the deadline for exclusion and objection is November 15 2024.

You also need to submit your claim form by December 16 2024.

As proof, claimants need to provide documentation of data breach-related expenses.

These include bank statements, phone bills, postage receipts, gas receipts, invoices and credit reports.

And the final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for January 10 2025.

Meanwhile the deadline looms for Americans to claim a chunk of a $115 million payout due to privacy concerns.

It comes after a class action lawsuit was filed against cloud applications provider Oracle America, Inc. in California in 2023.

The complaint alleges that the company illegally collected personal information and sold it to third parties for advertising purposes.

“Oracle improperly captured, compiled, and sold individuals’ online
and offline data to third parties without obtaining their consent,” the class action notice claims.

Web activity, purchases made online, geolocation and other personal information were reportedly collected and sold by the company.

Oracle collaborates with the likes of Uber, AMC, and MGM Resorts.

While agreeing to a $115 million settlement, Oracle admits no wrongdoing.

What's a class-action settlement?

Class action lawsuits offer groups of people, or 'classes,' a way to band together in court.

These suits are often brought by one or a few people who allege a company or other entity has wronged a large group of people.

When a suit becomes a class action, it extends to all “class members,” or people who may have similar complaints to those who filed the suit.

Companies often settle class actions – offering payment to class members who typically waive their right to pursue further legal action by accepting money.

These payout agreements frequently include statements by the defendant denying wrongdoing. Companies tend to settle class actions to avoid the costs of further litigation.

Pollution, discrimination, or false advertising are a few examples of what can land a class action on a company’s doorstep.

‘He’s not the star of the show’ fume The Voice viewers as they slam coach over ‘annoying’ habit

THE Voice viewers have slammed one of the coaches over their ‘annoying’ habit.

Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg all returned to our screens last night for another instalment of the NBC show.

Some fans have said the same thing about Michael[/caption]

The fifth blind auditions saw the likes of Cameron Wright, Mark Shiiba and BEYA take to the stage.

And while the reality TV show is about those who audition, some fans think that Michael is doing too much attention-grabbing antics and is making it all about him.

One wrote on Reddit: “I am starting to dislike Michael Buble. Last show, I found myself talking to the tv, telling him to shut up every time he gave HIS on-and-on performance. He needs to learn that he’s not the star of the show; the performers are.”

They added: “The show is called THE VOICE not THE VOICE COACHES.”

Another confessed: “This is why we quit watching. I thought Kelly was bad, everything was about her. It’s getting worse.”

A fourth wrote: “This show has always been more about the coaches than about the performers. But I agree, I think this self absorbed behavior is what makes this show unwatchable at times. And this counts for most or all of the coaches – at least during the blinds.”

Michael has spoken out about his life experiences as a musician to many of those who have performed in front of the judges.

Previously he opened up about how he started his career.

Michael said: “I was 16/17 and I started playing in these weird clubs and no one ever paid to see me.

“My grandpa was a plumber and he used to trade free plumbing to the club owner and the musicians would let me in.”

In another time he said: “The cool part about this show is these four people are going to help you to emulate to take what you want.

“That’s what we do as artists, we take from our heroes, we stand on the soldiers of the people tat we love and then we find ourselves.

“I love that one of us is going to get to be apart of watching you find yourself through your love of different genres and artists.

“Thank you so much for coming to our show.”

Last night performer BEYA, from Kauai in Hawaii, performed Ruby & the Romantic’s song Our Day Will Come.

Despite her incredible voice, Michael decided to not turn around.

He then explained: “I was sitting here thinking, ‘I love her voice, but can she be versatile?

“‘What she’s gonna be like with R&B or pop or country?’ And I couldn’t talk myself into going, ‘Yeah, she’ll be able to do that!’

“Now, here’s what’s gonna happen: You are gonna prove me completely wrong … and I will flog myself for this.”

However the singer was completely wrong about her.

BEYA told the camera before her performance: “Being a bilingual artist in Hawaii is hard to come by.

“I’m a full-time musician and I have to play some kind of Latin music at every gig. The crowd loves it; it’s a really sweet treat.

“Usually, I perform in intimate settings and now I’m about to step onto the biggest stage that I’ve ever sang on in my life.

“I would love to do a Latin song on the show, but my go-to genre is soul and R&B.”

Michael joined The Voice this year.

Aaron Rodgers faces heavy fine for breaking NFL protocol in furious rant after New York Jets’ defeat by Buffalo Bills

AARON Rodgers is facing a fine from the National Football League for his post-game remarks Monday night.

The New York Jets quarterback was left furious after his team was beaten by the Buffalo Bills.

The Jets fell to 2-4 this season after a 23-20 loss against their AFC East division rivals at MetLife Stadium.

Referees called 22 penalties in the game – 11 on each team.

And Rodgers didn’t hold back in his assessment of the officiating during his press conference.

“It seemed a little ridiculous,” the 40-year-old quarterback said.

“Some of them seemed really bad, including the roughing the passer on me.

“That’s not roughing the passer.

“We might as well play Sarcastaball if we’re going to call those things,” he said in reference to a South Park episode.

“I thought the one on Kinlaw was not roughing the passer, either.”

And Rodgers could be fined by the league for speaking his mind on the officiating.

The NFL bans players or coaches from publicly criticizing officials.

Last December, Cleveland Browns defensive star Myles Garrett was fined $25,000.

He slammed the officiating as ” a travesty” and was hit with a fine.

Rodgers threw for 294 yards and two touchdowns Monday night in the Jets’ first game since firing head coach Robert Saleh.

But a late interception with the Jets trailing 23-20 cost his team dear.

Greg Zuerlein also missed two field goals for New York as Buffalo emerged victories.

Josh Allen threw two touchdowns and ran in another to help his team improve to 4-2.

“Fighting through adversity, getting in at halftime, regrouping, saying let’s just control one play at a time,” Allen said.

“We didn’t score as many points as I’d like in the second half, but found a way.

“We understand the gravity of this type of game.

“Us being 4-2 with a 2 1/2-game lead with a head-to-head win, as opposed to being 3-3 and in second place.”
