Internet personality Braden Peters, better known online as Clavicular, is facing criminal charges in Massachusetts stemming from allegations involving a teenage girl.
Peters has been charged with rape, drugging a person for sexual intercourse and providing alcohol to a minor, according to a criminal complaint filed in Orleans District Court earlier this month. The allegations are connected to the same incident described in a separate civil lawsuit filed in Florida.
The accuser, influencer Aleksandra Mendoza, who also uses the name Alorah Ziva, reported the alleged incident to Chatham police in June. According to a police probable-cause statement, Mendoza told investigators that she was 17 when she visited Peters’ family’s home on Cape Cod in May 2025.
Mendoza alleges that Peters encouraged her to drink vodka while she was at the house. She told police that she became heavily intoxicated and that Peters initiated sexual activity later that night when she was unable to provide verbal consent. She also alleges that sexual activity occurred again the following morning.
The Massachusetts criminal case does not publicly identify the alleged victim, but a source familiar with the case said the person named in the Florida civil lawsuit is the same accuser.
Civil Lawsuit Also Filed in Florida
Mendoza’s Florida lawsuit was amended in June to add a sexual battery claim. The case also includes allegations involving battery, emotional distress and fraud.
Peters’ attorneys have asked a Florida court to dismiss several of those claims and have sought to have the sexual battery allegation handled separately. Those requests are scheduled to be considered later this month.
The lawsuit also describes an incident that allegedly occurred in Miami in November 2025, when Mendoza says she appeared with Peters during another livestream. According to the complaint, Peters allegedly injected her with Aqualyx, a fat-dissolving substance that is not FDA-approved for that use. The lawsuit argues that Mendoza was still underage at the time and therefore could not provide valid consent for the procedure.
The civil complaint further alleges that Peters used Mendoza’s name and likeness in connection with his livestreams for financial gain.
What Police and Peters Have Said
Chatham police records indicate investigators attempted to contact Peters twice regarding the Massachusetts allegations but were unable to reach him.
Peters is scheduled to be arraigned in Massachusetts on October 14. His representatives have disputed Mendoza’s allegations. In statements posted to X, Peters accused her of seeking his attention or attempting to obtain money through the legal actions.
Representatives for Peters also said Mendoza understood what was happening during the injections and alleged that she went to police after Peters refused to pay her. Mendoza’s attorneys in Florida did not respond to multiple requests for comment, according to the report.
Peters’ Massachusetts attorneys are not currently listed in the available court records.
Peters’ Online Profile and Other Legal Issues
Peters has built a large online following through livestreams on platforms including Kick and Twitch, where he promotes the online “looksmaxxing” culture focused on changing physical appearance.
His streams have included controversial discussions about appearance, relationships and drug use. Peters has also made claims online about extreme methods he says he has used to alter his appearance.
The Massachusetts allegations are not the only recent legal matters involving Peters.
Earlier this year, Miami-Dade County officials placed him on six months of probation after he was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm. Peters pleaded not guilty to that charge. The case appears to be connected to an incident in Florida in which he was filmed repeatedly firing a handgun at an alligator during a boat tour, although the connection is based on available reporting rather than a final court finding.
Peters was also arrested in March on an unrelated misdemeanor battery allegation involving a reported fight at an Airbnb he was renting. That case was dismissed last month.
The Massachusetts criminal case and the Florida civil lawsuit remain ongoing. The allegations described in both cases have not been established as facts in court.F
