Influencer and streamer Clavicular, real name Braden Peters, has allegedly been charged in Massachusetts with one count each of rape, drugging a person for sex and providing alcohol to a minor, with an arraignment scheduled for 14 October, according to documents obtained by The Bulwark.
Peters has responded publicly and shared an X post showing a letter he claims was sent to him.
The charges were reportedly filed by prosecutors on 8 September in a Cape Cod courthouse.
The Massachusetts charges are reportedly linked to an incident that occurred on 23 May 2025. If convicted, Peters could face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison on the rape charge.
Peters’ representative disputed the status of the case in a statement, saying: “Clavicular has not been physically served. As usual, the Bulwark is exaggerating the status of a case to boost traffic.”
Peters also posted on X about the Florida civil lawsuit referenced in coverage, writing: “Trying to get my attention in anyway possible, a lawsuit? Seriously… really petty of you,” and adding in a separate post: “Lmao was literally trying to work at Bacara as a bottle girl… how about don’t finance cars you can’t afford. Happens to all successful young men, people try to come for your money. Greed is evil.”
Alleged Florida civil lawsuit
The criminal case timeline reportedly appears to match a Florida civil lawsuit filed in April against Peters. That civil complaint included allegations from 18-year-old Alorah Ziva, legal name Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, including claims of battery, fraud and sexual misconduct.
The lawsuit alleged Peters injected Mendoza with Aqualyx, a fat-dissolving substance not approved by the FDA, during a livestream in 2025 without her consent. It also accused him of nonconsensual sexual encounters at his parents’ home in Cape Cod while she was intoxicated, and said she was a minor at the time.
In July, Peters filed a motion to dismiss several counts of the civil lawsuit.
Prior Florida charge
Peters is an online streamer known for “looksmaxxing” content and controversy-driven livestreams, with audiences across TikTok, Twitch-adjacent streaming and X.
In April, Peters was charged in Florida with unlawfully discharging a firearm after being seen in a video shooting an alligator in the Florida Everglades. His lawyer Jeffrey Neiman said the group was “following the instructions of a licensed airboat guide.”
