Looksmaxxing Influencer Summoned to Cape Cod Court on Rape Allegation
The complaint says he recruited the 17-year-old on Instagram, paid her for livestreams, and gave her alcohol before the alleged assault.
- Social media influencer Braden Peters, known online as 'Clavicular', faces charges of rape, drugging for sexual intercourse, and procuring alcohol for a person under 21 in Orleans District Court stemming from a May 23, 2025, incident in Chatham, Massachusetts.
- Prosecutors allege Peters paid a 17-year-old to appear in 'looksmaxxing' videos and instructed her to claim she was 18 and identify vodka as water during a Twitch livestream at his family's Chatham home.
- According to police reports, the accuser became increasingly intoxicated, fell asleep in Peters' bed, and woke the next morning to him 'having sex with me' without consent. She previously filed a civil lawsuit in Florida alleging sexual battery.
- Peters is scheduled to be arraigned on October 14 but has not been arrested, only issued a summons. Representative Mitchell Jackson stated Peters 'denies the allegations' and criticized the plaintiff's legal process.
- Known for the controversial 'looksmaxxing' trend, Peters has faced prior legal scrutiny including an arrest warrant for a physical fight in Florida and charges for firing a gun at an alligator in the Florida Everglades earlier this year.
