Influencer known as Clavicular charged with rape and related offenses in Massachusetts
Streamer Braden Peters, known online as Clavicular, faces one count each of rape, drugging a person for sex and providing alcohol to a minor, with arraignment set for October 14.
A Massachusetts court has charged online personality Braden Peters, who streams under the name Clavicular, with a single count each of rape, drugging a person for sexual activity and providing alcohol to a minor. The indictment, filed on Sept. 8 in a Cape Cod courthouse, relates to an incident alleged to have occurred on May 23, 2025. Peters, 20, is scheduled to appear for arraignment on Oct. 14.
The charges coincide with a civil lawsuit filed in April in Florida, in which 18-year-old Alorah Ziva (real name Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza) accused Peters of battery, fraud and sexual misconduct. The complaint alleges that during a 2025 livestream the influencer injected her with Aqualyx, a non-FDA-approved fat-dissolving substance, without consent, and that she was later intoxicated and engaged in non-consensual sexual activity at the influencer’s parents’ home in Cape Cod.
Peters’ representative responded to the report, stating that the influencer has not been physically served and characterizing the coverage as an exaggeration intended to increase traffic. Peters also posted on X, sharing a letter he said was sent by Mendoza after the incident and a video in which she described the injection as “fun” and thanked him for assistance. The authenticity and timing of the video were not verified.
If convicted, Peters faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison on the rape charge. This is not his first criminal case; in April he was charged in Florida with unlawful discharge of a firearm after a video showed him shooting an alligator in the Everglades, a charge his lawyer contested, saying he was following guidance from a licensed airboat operator.
