Influencer Known as "Clavicular" Brings Dog to Court for Rape Charge Arraignment

Looksmaxxing influencer Braden Peters, known online as "Clavicular," appeared in Orleans District Court on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, on Thursday for his arraignment on rape charges. Peters, 20, arrived at the courthouse with a white dog on a leash that barked at reporters.

Peters pleaded not guilty to charges including rape, drugging a victim for sexual intercourse, and providing liquor to a person under age 21. The allegations stem from an incident on May 23, 2025, at his family's home in Chatham, Massachusetts. The accuser, who met Peters through Instagram and was paid to make videos for his social media, reported the sexual assault to Chatham Police on June 4.

Court documents state the woman alleges she was raped by Peters after they conducted a live stream at his family's home. Peters was held on $10,000 bail and ordered to stay away from the alleged victim and refrain from posting about her on social media. He is scheduled to return to court next month. Peters, who is from Hoboken, New Jersey, did not respond to questions from reporters.
