A popular internet personality known as Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, has been charged with rape in Massachusetts, according to online court records. The charges against him include one count of rape, one count of drugging someone for sexual intercourse, and one count of procuring liquor for someone under 21 years old. These charges were filed on September 8, and the alleged offenses are said to have occurred on May 23, 2025. However, more details about the allegations have not been made public yet. As of Monday night, no attorney was listed in the court records as representing Clavicular. The Bulwark, a conservative news outlet, first reported the charges. A representative for Clavicular, Mitchell Jackson, claimed the report was exaggerated and said that Clavicular had not been served with an arrest warrant. “Braden Peters has not been physically served. As usual the Bulwark is exaggerating,” Jackson said in a text message Monday night. An email sent to The Bulwark’s general mailbox seeking comment was not immediately returned late Monday. An arraignment, or a court hearing to formally present the charges, was scheduled for October 14, according to the court records. Clavicular has gained notoriety online for promoting a trend known as “looksmaxxing,” which Meriam-Webster Dictionary defines as “the practice of taking one or more sometimes extreme or dangerous measures intended to increase one’s physical attractiveness.” Clavicular is known for “bone smashing,” a controversial practice where individuals use a hammer to intentionally break facial bones, believing that they will grow back stronger or more aesthetically pleasing. Experts have warned that this trend can be unhealthy and dangerous. In April, Clavicular was sued by a teenage influencer in Florida, Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, who goes by the online names Alorah or Alorah Ziva. Mendoza alleged that in 2025, Clavicular arranged for her to travel to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, gave her vodka until she was drunk, and then had sex with her while she was intoxicated, according to NBC South Florida. It is unclear whether the rape, drugging, and alcohol procurement charges in Massachusetts are related to these allegations. At the time of the lawsuit, Clavicular’s attorney stated that he denies the allegations and plans to vigorously defend himself. Clavicular was also charged in Florida with shooting at an alligator and was later hospitalized in Miami after a suspected overdose.
