TRIGGER WARNING: Rape / Sexual Assault


A KJ Apa fan revealed on Twitter that she was raped by Alex Carruthers (better known as Alex Hooch), who was formerly bandmates with KJ Apa and Rob Raco in a band called Legend. (Then Alex and KJ formed another band called The Rumble Fish.)

The rape happened in a hotel bathroom, some hours after Legend performed in concert, in Washington DC, last year.

This girl provided a lot of evidence to back up her story. Her voice has been heard, and she is getting an enormous amount of support from the Riverdale fandom.

She deactivated her Twitter, but before that, one of her supporters from the Riverdale fandom took screenshots of her tweets and created a thread for them. —> link





I applaud this girl being brave enough to come forward, reveal her story and provide the evidence. Plus, it's so good that the Riverdale fandom is supporting her. And, we all hope with all our hearts that she will get the justice she deserves.




A BuzzFeed reporter has been talking with Alex's rape victim (@comingforward11).






Rob spoke out:






Another one of Alex's bandmates spoke with someone from the Cole Sprouse and Riverdale fandoms who has been supporting the rape victim. —> link




KJ hasn't spoken up about the Alex case, nor about the false accusations of sexual assault made against him and his Riverdale co-stars. Though, a source connected to him said that KJ is in a terrible place right now and taking some time off.

Death threats have been sent to KJ and his family. Then KJ's mom was advised to block people.

It's so good that Cole and his Riverdale cast-mates have been supporting each other, as well as standing with all the real victims/survivors of sexual assault.

According to Cole and Lili, it was proven that those accounts were created specifically to post false stories about the Riverdale cast members including Cole, obviously in an attempt to ruin their images.

It's also so good that the cast is looking into taking legal action. This whole cast is so awesome!




Whenever someone claims that a person, whether a celebrity or normal person, sexually assaulted him/her and there's zero evidence, I don't want to jump to any conclusions. I won't believe anything until everything is resolved.


If the accusation is proven to be true: I'll stand with the victim, and I won't hold any respect for the violator.


If the accusation is proven to be false: It's never okay to make these false accusations. It's utterly disgusting and uncalled for.

• It can put the falsely accused person's career on the line AND ruin their life, when they really don't deserve it.


• Plus, it can invalidate the voices of the real victims/survivors of sexual assault, and cause the other ones to be too afraid to come forward — fearing that no one will believe them.

But, each and every real victim/survivor of sexual assault MUST NOT let all this discourage them from coming forward. These people should have the absolute right to speak out about their experiences, and they totally deserve to get their voices heard.


If you have ever been a victim of sexual assault or any other traumatizing incident, please turn to the right people — you can trust them, they will listen to you, and they will do their best to help you cope and get your power back.

Keeping this bottled up will just make you feel miserable and powerless.
