Streamer and social media influencer Clavicular is facing criminal charges in Massachusetts over an alleged incident dating back to May 2025.
The influencer, whose real name is Braden Peters, was charged on September 8 with rape, drugging a person for sex and providing alcohol to a minor, according to court records cited by The Bulwark.
Prosecutors linked the charges to an alleged incident in Cape Cod on May 23, 2025.
The rape charge carries a possible maximum sentence of 20 years in prison upon conviction. A conviction could also result in Peters being required to register as a sex offender.
Authorities have provided few details about the alleged incident. The identity of the alleged victim has also been withheld under Massachusetts laws designed to protect the privacy of people involved in sexual violence cases.
The criminal case has, however, drawn attention because its reported date and location appear to match allegations made in a separate civil lawsuit against Peters.
Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, an influencer who is known online as Alorah Ziva, sued Peters in Miami-Dade County in April.
In the lawsuit, Mendoza accused the streamer of battery, fraud and causing emotional distress over an alleged unwanted sexual encounter in Cape Cod.
She claimed Peters arranged an Uber for her to travel to his family’s home because she believed the meeting could help her career.
The lawsuit alleges that Mendoza was underage at the time and was given excessive alcohol after arriving at the property.
She further alleged that Peters engaged in sexual activity with her when she was allegedly too intoxicated to consent and later while she was asleep.
The allegations in the civil case have not been established in court.
Peters has criticised Mendoza’s lawsuit publicly. In a post on X on Monday, he accused her of trying to attract his attention through the legal action.
His attorney also filed a motion in July seeking the dismissal of several claims contained in the civil lawsuit.
A representative for Peters has denied the allegations and argued that the criminal case does not reflect the streamer’s position. The representative also said Peters had not been formally served with the criminal case documents.
The representative further accused The Bulwark of exaggerating the status of the proceedings to generate attention.
Peters is expected to appear for arraignment on October 14, according to The Bulwark.
The criminal charges are allegations at this stage, and Peters remains legally presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
