Looksmaxxing influencer Clavicular brought a dog on a leash to his court appearance on a rape charge in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, on Thursday.
The internet personality, 20, wearing an ill-fitting black suit and glasses, arrived at Orleans District Court in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, for his arraignment in connection with an alleged rape in Chatham, MA, in 2025.
He had a white dog on a leash that barked at reporters as he entered the courthouse.
The controversial influencer, born Braden Peters in Hoboken, New Jersey, did not respond to reporters’ questions about the events of 2025 or whether he intended to bring the dog into court.
Peters pleaded not guilty and was held on $10,000 bail, while also ordered to stay away from the alleged victim and to not post about her on social media, WCVB reported.
He is due to return to court next month.

Peters faces charges of rape, drugging a victim for sexual intercourse, and providing liquor to a person under age 21, court documents obtained by WCVB show.
His accuser walked into Chatham Police Department’s headquarters to report the sexual assault allegation on June 4.
She told officers she met Peters through Instagram and was later paid to make videos for his social media, court documents state.
The woman alleges she was raped by Peters on May 23, 2025, at his family’s home in Chatham, where they did a live stream.
