Braden Peters, a 20‑year‑old internet personality who streams under the name “Clavicular,” appeared before the Orleans District Court in Chatham, Massachusetts, on Thursday and entered a not‑guilty plea to multiple felony charges.
Court appearance
Peters arrived at the courthouse accompanied by a leashed dog that barked at reporters as he entered the building. He was ordered to remain on $10,000 bail, stay away from the alleged victim, and refrain from posting about her on social media. A follow‑up hearing is scheduled for next month.
Charges
According to court documents, Peters faces three counts: rape, drugging a victim for sexual intercourse, and providing liquor to a person under age 21. The alleged incident is said to have occurred on May 23, 2025, at his family’s home in Chatham.
Allegations
Police reports state that a 17‑year‑old girl reported the assault to the Chatham Police Department on June 4. The victim, who met Peters through Instagram, said she was paid to create videos for social media. She alleges that Peters arranged transportation to his family residence, where they began a live stream.
The report notes that Peters instructed the girl, on camera, to claim she was 18 and to say that the alcohol she was drinking was water, allegedly to avoid a Twitch ban. The victim said she consumed vodka, became “really drunk,” fell asleep in Peters’ bed, and later woke to find him having sex with her without consent.
Evidence
Police reviewed video from the Twitch stream and observed the two participants kissing. Peters has denied any wrongdoing.
Background
Peters has amassed more than one million followers across his social‑media platforms, largely through his “looksmaxxing” content, which focuses on self‑improvement and appearance.
