Controversial “manosphere” streamer Clavicular was slapped with rape charges that could land him behind bars for up to 20 years if convicted for an alleged 2025 sexual assault in a tony Massachusetts vacation spot, a bombshell new report revealed.
The infamous “looksmaxxer” – whose real name is Braden Peters – was criminally charged Sept. 8 with rape, drugging a person for sex and providing alcohol to a minor for an assault prosecutors said happened on May 23, 2025 in Cape Cod, according to court records obtained by The Bulwark.
The rape charge alone carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and would require the pretty boy streamer to register as a sex offender if convicted.
Details about the alleged assault are sparse in the documents, which do not name a victim, in line with Massachusetts’ laws regarding sexual violence.
However, the date, location and charges appear to line up with accusations made by another content creator in a civil lawsuit filed against Peters in Miami-Dade County in April.
Fellow influencer Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, who goes by Alorah Ziva online, sued Peters for battery, fraud and emotional distress over an alleged unwanted sexual encounter that occurred in Cape Cod in May 2025.
Mendoza said Peters paid for an Uber to bring her to his family home in Cape Cod — and she went in hopes that meeting with the streamer would further her own career, according to the suit.
But when she got to the home, Peters loaded Mendoza, who was underage, up with “excessive amounts of alcohol” and then had sex with her when she was too inebriated to give consent, and again when she was asleep, the lawsuit alleges.
“Peters then had sex with Mendoza while she was knowingly intoxicated, to the point where she was unable to give consent,” the court doc states. “That morning, while Mendoza was asleep, she woke up with Peters penetrating her and having sex with her, again without her consent.”
After the sexual encounter, Peters sent Mendoza away in an Uber and didn’t see her for six months, according to the suit.
The streamer didn’t directly address the allegations in the criminal case, but took to X Monday night and blasted the April suit filed by Mendoza.
“Trying to get my attention in anyway [sic] possible, a lawsuit? Seriously … really petty of you,” Peters said in the post.
Peters’ lawyer filed a motion to dismiss several counts of the civil lawsuit in July.
A representative for Clavicular claimed in a statement to TMZ that Mendoza added the sexual assault count to the lawsuit months after it was initially filed.
The rep also said Peters was more than able to refute Mendoza’s claims, and that the criminal case was later filed when “[s]he and her lawyer then go to police.”
“Clavicular has not been physically served. As usual, the Bulwark is exaggerating the status of a case to boost traffic,” the rep added in another statement to the Hollywood Reporter.
Peters is due to be arraigned in court on Oct. 14, The Bulwark reported.
