Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 16:33 · Archive

A 20-year-old livestreamer known as Clavicular has pleaded not guilty to raping a 17-year-old girl at his Cape Cod home in May 2025.

Braden Peters, a 20-year-old livestreamer known as Clavicular, pleaded not guilty Thursday in Orleans District Court, Massachusetts, to charges that he raped a 17-year-old girl. Peters is accused of giving the girl alcohol until she was intoxicated and then sexually assaulting her when she visited his family home in Chatham, on Cape Cod, in May 2025. Peters has denied the allegations through his lawyers, saying the sexual encounter was consensual.

Peters, who has a million followers on Instagram, is a social media personality known for promoting extreme devotion to male beauty. His livestreams feature him rating people's looks and discussing methods of becoming better looking, including surgery and drug use. He arrived at the courthouse wearing a dark suit and did not comment to reporters.

As part of his bail agreement of $10,000, Peters surrendered his passport and has agreed not to contact or post about the woman who accused him of assault. The case is the latest legal challenge for Peters. Earlier this year, he was charged with misdemeanor battery in Florida after police said he provoked a fight between two women and posted a video of it online; that charge was later dropped. In a separate Florida case this year, he was sentenced to probation after pleading no contest to firing a gun in public.
