Real name Andrés Felipe Valencia Barrientos, the 30-year-old is accused of raping a woman after a performance at a nightclub in Perth, Australia, in 2024. Testifying at the District Court of Western Australia today, a week into the trial, he recalled how he ‘fancied’ the woman, whom he met at the concert venue, called Bar1. He denied touching her inappropriately, claiming he ‘put his hand on her waist’, but not on her breasts or down her pants, as she has alleged. The woman has also said he gave her tequila shots, but he claims these were handed out by a bar manager. ‘I was standing in the VIP (area), and she was standing in the general area, and she leant over a barrier and said something to me,’ Barrientos told the court, adding that ‘she had a really good energy about her’.

He grabbed her hand and started to walk out with her, but then let go. ‘I quickly realised I didn’t want to be seen on socials.’ Upon arriving at his hotel with the alleged victim, who was then aged 20, he claims the ‘vibes were good’. Barrientos’ security guard took the woman’s phone away, which he insists is ‘standard practice’ for privacy reasons, given that he is ‘in the limelight’. While it was not explicitly mentioned that they would be having sex when they left the club at around 3.30am, he believed that they would. They proceeded to have consensual sex, which he describes as ‘great’ and with ‘grunting and moaning… in a good way’, but the court previously heard that Barrientos then turned violent, and she told him to stop. The social media star has denied choking and slapping the woman, as has been alleged, but said he did bite her: ‘In England, we would call it a love bite.’ He claims they had ‘great’ consensual sex, denying turning violent (Picture: EPA) ‘My mouth on her skin; it involves sucking (and) my teeth were involved, to some extent,’ he explained. Photos of the woman’s alleged injuries were shown, with one image displaying deep bruising and teeth marks on her face and neck. Barrientos has been charged with six counts of sexual penetration without consent, three counts of assault causing bodily harm, and one count of impeding someone’s normal breathing. He has pleaded not guilty to all six counts. The trial continues.
