Австралийн Перт хотын шүүхэд хүчин болон бие махбодод гэмтэл учруулсан хэрэгт буруутгагдаж буй Британийн YouTuber, рэппер Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos-ын хэргийн эцсийн дүгнэлтийг сонсож байна.
Британийн иргэн, 30 настай Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos нь 2024 оны есдүгээр сард Перт хотын зочид буудалд 20 настай эмэгтэйг хүчирхийлж, боомилсон, бие махбодод нь гэмтэл учруулсан нийт 10 зүйл ангиар буруутгагдаж байгаа юм. Шүүгдэгч нь өөрт тулгарсан бүх ял сонсголыг үгүйсгэж, гэм буруугүй хэмээн мэдүүлжээ.
Даваа гарагт болсон шүүх хурал дээр Barrientos хохирогчийг боомилсон болон цохисон гэх мэдүүлгийг эрс няцаасан боловч түүнийг хазсан гэдгээ хүлээн зөвшөөрсөн байна. Тэрээр үүнийгээ Англид “хайрын хазуулт” гэж нэрлэдэг хэмээн тайлбарлаж, хохирогчийн бие дээрх сорви нь үүнтэй холбоотой гэжээ.
Прокурорын зүгээс хохирогч анх бэлгийн харилцаанд орохыг зөвшөөрсөн боловч аюулгүй байдалдаа санаа зовж, эсэргүүцэл үзүүлсэн гэж үзэж байна. Мөн шүүгдэгч нь хохирогчийн гар утсыг хураан авсан нь түүнийг түгжиж, хяналтандаа байлгах зорилготой байсан гэж буруутгажээ.
Харин Barrientos энэ нь алдартай хүний хувьд хувийн нууцаа хамгаалах стандарт үйл ажиллагаа байсан хэмээн тайлбарлав. Шүүх бүрэлдэхүүн талуудын эцсийн тайлбарыг сонссоны дараа лхагва гарагаас эхлэн шийдвэрээ гаргах төлөвтэй байна.

Lawyers were making closing statements Tuesday in the Australian trial of a British YouTuber and rapper known as Yung Filly on charges that he raped and choked a fan following a music performance two years ago.
The 30-year-old entertainer, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, had pleaded not guilty in the District Court of Western Australia state to six charges of rape, three charges of assault occasioning bodily harm and one count of choking in a Perth hotel room in September 2024.
The accuser cannot legally be named. She was 20 at the time.
The jury is expected to begin considering their verdicts Wednesday after defence and prosecution lawyers finish their closing statements.
Mr Barrientos testified Monday that he did not slap or choke the woman, but he agreed to the allegation that he bit her multiple times.
“In England we would call it a love bite,” Mr Barrientos told the court.
The performer denied the woman repeatedly told him to stop and told him he was hurting her.
“There was kissing in between; I would give her a love bite and then kiss her,” Mr Barrientos said from the witness box. “I don’t recall any blood.”
Photos of the woman with bruising and bite marks on her face and neck were shown to the court.
Mr Barrientos met the woman at a Perth nightclub after his performance.
“The vibes were good and she had a really good energy about her,” he said.
Prosecutors previously said the woman initially agreed to have sex with Mr Barrientos, but withdrew her consent when she started to fear for her safety.
Mr Barrientos agreed that a security guard took the woman’s phone before she entered the hotel room.
But he denied prosecutor Danielle Clarke’s accusation that the phone was removed to trap the woman.
“It is standard practice for someone in the limelight to protect privacy,” Mr Barrientos said.
The Colombian-born entertainer, who has more than 1.8 million followers on YouTube, had been touring Australia and had performed in Sydney and Melbourne before he encountered the woman.
He was in the east coast city of Brisbane where the tour was to end when he was arrested several days later.
