Braden Peters, known online as Clavicular, faces one count of rape, one count of drugging for sexual intercourse, and one count of providing liquor to a minor—all charged in a Cape Cod courthouse on September 8, 2025.
The alleged crimes occurred on May 23, 2025, when Peters reportedly gave a teenage influencer vodka, left her intoxicated, and then engaged in sexual activity with her—details that mirror a prior lawsuit filed by a Florida teen influencer earlier this year.
Peters’ representative, Mitchell Jackson, denied the allegations, saying the media had exaggerated the claims and that his client had not yet been served an arrest warrant.
Clavicular’s internet persona centers on the ‘looksmaxxing’ trend, a subculture that pushes users to extreme measures—ranging from steroids to self‑harm—to enhance physical appearance.
This is not the first time the influencer has attracted legal scrutiny; in April, Peters and two others were charged in Florida with unlawfully discharging a firearm in public, receiving six months of probation and a 20‑hour community‑service sentence.
The Massachusetts court has set the next hearing for the case, and the proceedings will proceed to trial once the pre‑trial motions are resolved.
