The essentials
Peters's release requires $10,000 bail, passport surrender, and no contact with the alleged victim before a November 24, 2026 hearing.
A judge set $10,000 bail for Braden Peters, known as Clavicular, after he pleaded not guilty to one count of rape and one count of providing liquor to a person under 21 in Orleans, Massachusetts. The rape charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
As conditions of release, the judge ordered Peters to surrender his passport and to have no contact with the alleged victim.

Peters denies the rape allegations, saying the sexual encounter was consensual. The allegations have not been tested in court, and the charges remain unresolved.
A probable cause hearing is scheduled for November 24, 2026. Peters is 20 years old and an online personality with more than one million Instagram followers.
