A young woman's allegation of sexual assault against a popular social media creator named Braden Peters — known online as Clavicular — places the quiet machinery of influencer culture under a harsher light. She is seventeen; he is an adult with a substantial following; the charge involves alcohol and the absence of consent. His representative denies everything, and the truth, as yet, belongs to no one. The case arrives at a moment when society is asking, with growing seriousness, whether fame confers protection or responsibility.
