Summary
Orleans District Court on Thursday heard 20-year-old Braden Peters, known as Clavicular, plead not guilty at arraignment and receive $10,000 bail; his next court date is Nov. 24.
Prosecutors say Peters assaulted a 17-year-old girl at his family's Cape Cod home after serving her alcohol during a May 2025 livestream, leaving her too intoxicated to consent.
Peters faces two felonies—rape and drugging someone to facilitate sexual intercourse—and a misdemeanor count of providing alcohol to someone under 21.
The case deepens legal trouble for the manosphere influencer, whose “looksmaxxing” content has built a large following among young men; a conviction on all counts could bring penalties up to life in prison.
