Looksmaxxer Clavicular Faces Serious Criminal Charges and Civil Lawsuit Filed by Aleksandra Mendoza

Looksmaxxing influencer Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Eric Peters, faces three criminal charges in Massachusetts over an alleged incident on 23 May 2025.

The charges, filed in Orleans District Court on 8 September 2026, include rape, drugging a person for sexual intercourse and procuring liquor for a person under 21. Peters is scheduled to be arraigned on 14 October 2026.

The criminal case comes amid a separate civil lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade County, Florida, by fellow influencer Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, who uses the online name Alorah Ziva.

The complaint, filed on 28 April 2026, names Peters as the defendant and alleges battery, fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress and unauthorised use of Mendoza's name and likeness.

What Mendoza's Lawsuit Alleges

According to Mendoza's complaint, she met Peters through their online work and was paid $1,000 (£748.71) to appear in four videos. She alleges that Peters encouraged her to pursue a role in the looksmaxxing community and presented her as a potential 'female face' of the trend.

The lawsuit also describes an encounter that Mendoza alleges took place at Peters' parents' home on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. She alleges that Peters arranged for her to travel there, served her alcohol and later had sex with her while she was too intoxicated to consent.

The complaint also alleges that Mendoza was a minor at the time. A court has not established these claims.

The Massachusetts criminal records currently available do not identify the alleged victim. As a result, it has not been independently established that Mendoza is the person referred to in the criminal case, even though the allegations reported in the two proceedings appear to concern a similar period and location.

Peters' criminal case remains unresolved. The charges are allegations, and Peters has not been convicted of the offences.

Lawsuit Also Alleges Facial Injections

Mendoza's lawsuit includes separate allegations concerning an incident in Miami. She alleges that Peters injected her face with Aqualyx, a fat-dissolving substance, during a livestream without her consent and that she suffered an injury to her cheek.

The complaint further alleges that Peters was not authorised to administer the injections and that he did not disclose that Aqualyx was not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. The FDA lists Aqualyx among fat-dissolving injections that are not FDA-approved and says such products can cause serious adverse reactions.

Mendoza's complaint seeks at least $50,000 (£37,398.56) in damages. The allegations concerning the injections, licensing and resulting injury remain claims made in the civil lawsuit and have not been determined by a court.

Peters' attorney, Steve Kramer, previously said the allegations in the civil case were unproven. Kramer said Peters denied the claims, disputed Mendoza's characterisation of events and would respond through the appropriate legal channels.

Peters has also addressed Mendoza publicly. In a post on X, he accused her of trying to get his attention through the lawsuit and suggested that the case was financially motivated. Those comments reflect Peters' characterisation of the dispute and are not court findings.

The civil lawsuit and Massachusetts criminal prosecution are separate legal proceedings. The Florida case concerns claims for damages, while the Massachusetts case involves criminal charges brought through the state court system.

The available criminal records do not establish whether the Massachusetts charges arise from the allegations described in Mendoza's lawsuit. Peters' arraignment is scheduled for 14 October 2026. Until the criminal case is resolved, the charges remain allegations, not findings of guilt.
