'Looksmaxxing' Influencer Clavicular Charged With Rape, Drugging, and Procuring Liquor for Someone Under 21
Prosecutors say the 20-year-old influencer gave a teenager vodka and drugged her before the alleged assault, which could bring up to 20 years in prison.
- On September 8, Massachusetts prosecutors charged livestreamer Braden Peters, known as Clavicular, with rape, drugging a person for sex, and providing alcohol to a minor in a Cape Cod courthouse. Court records indicate Peters has not yet been arrested.
- The criminal charges appear connected to a civil lawsuit filed in Florida by influencer Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, who alleged Peters sexually assaulted her at his parents' Cape Cod home on May 23, 2025. She also accused him of battery and fraud.
- Mendoza alleges she was 16 when Peters paid her $1,000 to appear in videos as the 'female face' of 'looksmaxxing.' She claims he provided alcohol before the alleged assault, which she says occurred without her consent.
- Representative Mitchell Jackson stated Peters has not been served with an arrest warrant, accusing The Bulwark of 'exaggerating' the report. Peters dismissed the charges, writing, 'Happens to all successful young men, people try to come for your money.'
- Peters is scheduled for arraignment on October 14. The streamer previously pleaded no contest in April to unlawfully discharging a firearm in Florida, receiving probation and community service.
