Braden Peters, also known as Clavicular, a popular livestreamer focused on “looksmaxxing,” entered a not guilty plea to allegations of raping a 17-year-old girl at his family’s residence in Massachusetts. The incident, which occurred in May 2025 in Chatham, Cape Cod, involved Peters allegedly providing alcohol to the girl until she was intoxicated and then sexually assaulting her.
Peters, a social media figure advocating for male beauty enhancements, has refuted the accusations, claiming that the encounter was consensual. During his appearance at the Orleans courthouse in Massachusetts, Peters, dressed in a dark suit and walking a dog, opted not to engage with reporters and maintained a composed demeanor.
He has agreed to a $10,000 US bail, surrendered his passport, and committed to refraining from contacting or discussing the accuser. Peters and his legal team declined to offer any comments as they exited the courthouse.
This legal issue is the latest in a series of troubles for Peters, who boasts a substantial Instagram following. His content often includes lengthy livestreams where he rates individuals’ appearances and discusses methods for improving one’s looks, including surgical procedures and substance use.
Earlier this year, Peters faced a misdemeanor battery charge in Florida for instigating a physical altercation between two women, which he subsequently shared online. However, the charge was later dismissed. Additionally, in a separate Florida incident, he received probation after entering a no-contest plea for discharging a firearm in a public setting.
The alleged victim of the rape incident asserted to law enforcement that Peters had been compensating her to feature in his “looksmaxxing” videos. She detailed an account where Peters provided her with vodka shots, streamed himself kissing her while she was inebriated, and then allegedly assaulted her while she was unconscious the next morning. The woman also referenced these events in a lawsuit filed in Florida, where she accused Peters of administering an unauthorized fat-dissolving substance during a livestream.
Peters’ legal team dismissed the lawsuit as a publicity stunt. It is important to note that the Associated Press typically refrains from identifying individuals who claim to be victims of sexual assault unless they consent to disclosure.
