The weirdo influencer behind the controversial “looksmaxxing” trend is now accused of rape-maxxing.
Braden Peters — best known as, uh, Clavicular — allegedly drugged a woman at his parents’ posh Cape Cod, Mass., home and then sexually assaulted her.
The rape allegedly took place in May 2025.
‘Influencer’ faces 20 years in prison
Cops have now hammered the 20-year-old with rape, drugging a person for sex and providing alcohol to a minor. On the rape charges alone, the streamer could face 20 years in the slammer and forced to register as a sex offender if convicted.
This isn’t the first time Peters’ antics have landed him in hot water. In fact, a separate civil suit makes similarly disturbing allegations. That suit was filed earlier in 2026.
But according to the suit filed by another “content creator,” Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, known online as Alorah Ziva, says she too had an unwanted sexual encounter with the digital douchebag. The alleged incident occurred in May 2025 in Cape Cod.
In her lawsuit, Mendoza claims she agreed to meet Peters in hopes of advancing her career, and he is alleged to have paid for an Uber to deliver her to him.
The lawsuit alleges that Peters plied the underage Mendoza with “excessive” amounts of booze before having sex with her. By that time, she claims she was too drunk to consent. Mendoza alleges she was sexually assaulted again while she slept.
Alleged victim didn’t give sex consent
The court doc states: “Peters then had sex with Mendoza while she was knowingly intoxicated, to the point where she was unable to give consent. That morning, while Mendoza was asleep, she woke up with Peters penetrating her and having sex with her, again without her consent.”
He then sent her on her way in an Uber. The pair did not see each other again for six months.
Media reports say details around the alleged victim in the criminal matter are limited.
On Monday night, the knucklehead “looksmaxxer” slammed the civil suit on X.
He wrote: “Trying to get my attention in anyway [sic] possible, a lawsuit? Seriously … really petty of you.”

His rep claims he has not been physically served with papers.
Lawyer Steve Kramer told TMZ : “We are aware of the complaint recently filed against Mr. Peters. These are allegations only and remain unproven. Mr Peters denies the claims and disputes the characterization of events.
Peters is big on the ‘manosphere’
“He will respond through the appropriate legal channels and intends to vigorously defend himself. We will not comment further at this time.”
He is slated to be arraigned on October 14 in Cape Cod. Clavicular has become boffo big on social media and streaming but that hasn’t cleared the celebrity landmines.
In April, he appeared to collapse during a livestream with friends at a Miami restaurant and was rushed to hospital. He was slurring his words and struggled to keep his head upright. A 911 operator characterized the incident as an “overdose.”
Use crystal meth to stay slim!
One of his outrageous methods of “looksmaxxing” is called “bone smashing.” That involves hitting yourself in the face numerous times with a hammer to achieve a sharper jawline.
In addition, Peters has also promoted the use of the steroid testosterone, starving to keep slim and hammering crystal meth to stay stiletto thin to his hundreds of thousands of followers.
Clavicular’s meteoric rise has been fueled by the so-called online “manosphere.” But he has not been without critics.
“I observed a teenager stating that he was going to take his own life if he did not reach 6ft in height,” Michael Halpin, Associate Professor of Sociology at Dalhousie University, told The UK Sun :
“While other users were told they were too ugly for ‘looksmaxxing’ and they should consider suicide. They are told they need to looksmax if they want to look better or ‘normal’.”
