‘Clavicular’ Arraignment Rescheduled, Civil Lawsuit Amended To Drop Sexual Battery Count

ORLEANS – The arraignment of the “looksmaxxing” livestreamer popularly known as Clavicular, who has been accused of raping a minor in Chatham, has been rescheduled for a later date, while the civil lawsuit against him stemming in part from the same accusation was amended to drop a count of sexual battery.

Braden Peters, 20, was charged in September with rape, drugging a person for sexual intercourse, and procuring liquor for a person under 21 — offenses dated to May 2025 in Chatham.

Peters has been accused of raping a woman, then age 17, at his family’s house on Morris Island after providing her with alcohol, the criminal complaint alleges.

An arraignment in Orleans District Court scheduled for Oct. 14 was pushed to Thursday (Oct. 22) due to Peters’ attorney having a previous professional commitment on the original date, according to a court record.

According to the criminal complaint, Peters is accused of ordering a rideshare for the woman to bring her to Chatham, where she joined him on a livestream, during which he provided alcohol. He is also alleged to have known the woman’s age and instructed her to lie on the livestream that she was 18 years old.

After the livestream, Peters, then 19, and the woman had sex. The woman, who told police she had become very drunk at the Chatham residence and never verbally consented, fell asleep and woke up the next morning to Peters having sex with her, the criminal complaint alleges.

The criminal charges on the Cape coincide with a civil lawsuit filed earlier this year in Miami-Dade County in Florida by the same woman that similarly detailed the Chatham encounter, plus accused Peters of, months later, injecting a fat-melting solution into her cheek during a livestream. 

The civil complaint had previously been amended to also accuse Peters of sexual battery, but a second amended complaint submitted Oct. 8 dropped the count. 

The second amended complaint alleges counts of battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, and unauthorized publication of name and likeness.

 The second amended complaint also includes images from the livestream during which Peters is alleged to have injected Aqualyx, the fat-dissolving medication, into the woman.

“Peters was not a doctor or physician, was not licensed to practice medicine in Florida, had no medical training, and was not qualified or authorized to inject anyone with any drug, medication, chemical, or fat-dissolving substance,” part of the complaint reads. “Aqualyx is not FDA-approved and the FDA has warned that it can be harmful. The injection was not safe; Peters had problems performing it, and [the woman’s] right cheek was perforated. [The woman] was a minor who could not receive any injection absent parental consent, and no parent or legal guardian had consented.”

“She files a lawsuit and doesn’t include sexual assault as a count,” said Peters’ representative Mitchell Jackson in an earlier statement prior to the second amended complaint. “Then she amends it and adds it a couple of months later. Clavicular then filed a motion to dismiss fighting the civil lawsuit because letter/text messages show she knew what was happening with the injections and he refused to pay money. She and her lawyer then go to police.”
