Influencer known as Clavicular charged with rape
In Massachusetts, a 20-year-old influencer known as Clavicular has been charged with raping a 17-year-old girl.
The accuser told police that last May, Braden Peters, Clavicular’s real name, gave her alcohol during a livestream before the assault, despite knowing she was underage.
Peters is a prominent figure in the online looksmaxxing trend, which focuses on improving one’s physical appearance.
A lawyer for Peters has previously denied the allegations against him. His arraignment is scheduled for mid-October.
