Allegations and Criminal Charges
Legal filings in Orleans District Court allege that Braden E. Peters, the 20-year-old influencer known online as “Clavicular,” raped a teenager, drugged her to facilitate sexual intercourse, and procured alcohol for a person under 21. The charges were filed this month, and Peters is not in custody; he is slated for arraignment in mid-October.
Background and Prior Lawsuit
The criminal case follows a civil suit filed earlier in Miami by an 18-year-old woman who also identifies as a “looksmaxxing” influencer. Her complaint claims Peters served her multiple rounds of vodka and engaged in non-consensual sex at his parents’ Cape Cod home. The lawsuit further alleges that during a livestream in November 2025, Peters injected the woman’s cheeks with a fat-dissolving compound laced with methamphetamine, resulting in a perforated cheek. The plaintiff also asserts that she lost a $15,000-per-month sponsorship with an online trading platform after Peters disparaged her and used his large online following to undermine her reputation.
Public Reaction and Influencer’s Response
After the charges became public, Peters posted on X, suggesting that successful young men are routinely targeted for their money and characterizing greed as “evil.” His spokesperson, who was traveling in Japan at the time, declined to comment when approached for comment.
Legal Status and Next Steps
The police report for the criminal case has not yet been released. The upcoming arraignment will determine whether Peters will remain free pending trial, and the court will address the serious felony allegations outlined in the filings.
