US Social Media Star Clavicular Faces Serious Charges in Massachusetts

American social media personality Braden Eric Peters, known online as Clavicular, is facing serious criminal charges in Massachusetts, including rape, drugging for sexual purposes, and providing alcohol to a minor. The charges were filed on September 8, with the alleged offenses occurring on May 23, 2025, according to NBC News.

These accusations follow a civil lawsuit filed in Florida approximately five months ago by a minor influencer, Alexandra Mendoza. Her lawsuit alleged that Peters flew her to his family home in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, plied her with alcohol, and sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious. The suit also claimed that on another occasion, Peters injected her face with a fat-dissolving substance without her consent, causing her physical harm and trauma.

Representatives for Clavicular have denied the allegations, stating that "the reports are exaggerated." His lawyers assert that Peters denies all accusations and intends to fight the charges in court. Peters himself addressed the situation on X, claiming it was an attempt at extortion, stating, "This is what happens to every young, successful man, people try to take your money. Lust is a bad thing."

Clavicular visited Israel in July, where he generated controversy due to his association with antisemitic content creators, some of whom were photographed with him while he sang "Heil Hitler."
