Controversial Influencer 'Clavicular' Faces Serious Criminal Charges in US
American internet personality Braden Peters, known online as 'Clavicular,' is facing severe legal trouble in the United States. Approximately two months after a controversial visit to Israel, it has been revealed that three serious criminal charges have been filed against him in Massachusetts. Court records indicate the charges stem from an incident in May 2025 and include rape, administering a drug for sexual intercourse, and supplying alcohol to minors. His arraignment is scheduled for October 14. Peters' representative, Mitchell Jackson, stated that media reports are exaggerating the situation and that his client has not yet received an official arrest warrant.
In parallel, Peters is also the subject of a detailed civil lawsuit in Florida, filed by influencer Alexandra Vasilvena Mendoza, also known as 'Allura Ziva.' Mendoza alleges that she went to Peters' home in Cape Cod after he offered her $1,000 to appear in videos. She claims he then plied her with alcohol and engaged in sexual intercourse with her without consent, both that night and the following morning. The lawsuit also includes a disturbing allegation that Peters injected her with 'Aqualyx,' a fat-dissolving substance not approved by the FDA, during a livestream without her consent.
Peters' attorneys deny all allegations, asserting they are unproven in court. This legal entanglement follows a highly publicized visit to Israel in July, where Peters, who has a young online following, generated significant controversy. He had previously been documented making antisemitic remarks and playing Kanye West's 'Heil Hitler' song. During his time in Israel, he was filmed speaking with Topaz Lok, an advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at a Tel Aviv club. Lok later clarified the meeting was accidental and that Peters had apologized for his past statements.
Peters' visit also involved public outings with Israeli women in Tel Aviv, which led to a confrontation with right-wing activist Mordechai David. Peters reportedly became enraged, went to his hotel to protest, and subsequently fled Israel within days. Public attention has now shifted from online controversies to federal court proceedings.
