Looksmaxxing Influencer Clavicular Charged With Rape
Braden Peters is an internet streamer who uses the name Clavicular.
He is known for a trend called looksmaxxing, which focuses on changing or improving appearance.
Massachusetts prosecutors have charged him with rape and two related alcohol or drugging offenses.
The accusations involve a 17-year-old girl who said she visited his family’s home in May 2025.
She told police that Peters gave her vodka and that she later woke up to him having sex with her without consent.
The charges were filed on September 8.
Peters is expected to appear in court on October 14.
His spokesperson says news reports exaggerated the claims and says Peters was not physically served with an arrest warrant.
A charge is an accusation, not a finding that someone is guilty.
Braden Peters, known online as Clavicular, faces Massachusetts charges of rape, drugging someone for sexual intercourse, and procuring alcohol for someone under 21.
A criminal complaint says the alleged offenses occurred on May 23, 2025, at Peters’s family home in Chatham on Cape Cod.
The 17-year-old accuser told police Peters invited her to appear in livestream videos, gave her vodka, and had sex with her while she was intoxicated and unable to consent.
The charges were issued on September 8, and Peters is scheduled for arraignment in Orleans, Massachusetts, on October 14.
Peters’s spokesperson Mitchell Jackson called media reports exaggerated and said the accuser had previously sued Peters and that Peters had not been physically served with an arrest warrant.
