Clavicular faces new legal twist as accuser removes sexual assault claims from civil lawsuit

Online influencer Clavicular is facing a criminal case in Massachusetts after allegations involving a 2025 encounter, but a related civil lawsuit has taken a new turn. The woman who accused him of sexual assault has removed those claims from her latest court filing. Her attorney says the decision aims to prevent the civil proceedings from interfering with the criminal prosecution. However, the lawsuit continues over separate allegations involving cosmetic injections, alleged deception and emotional distress.Clavicular's accuser withdraws sexual assault claims from civil lawsuitAleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, an 18-year-old influencer known online as Alorah or Alorah Ziva, filed an amended complaint in Miami-Dade County, Florida, removing the sexual assault allegations against Braden Peters, better known as Clavicular.According to NBC News, Mendoza's attorney, Drew Moss, said the decision was linked to the pending criminal case in Massachusetts. The change does not mean the criminal allegations have been dismissed. Peters, 20, was charged in September with rape, drugging someone for sexual intercourse and procuring liquor for a person under 21. He has denied the allegations.The criminal complaint concerns an alleged incident at Peters' family's home on Cape Cod in May 2025. Mendoza alleged that Peters arranged an Uber for her, gave her vodka and sexually assaulted her. The original civil complaint also alleged that he had sex with her when she was too intoxicated to consent and while she was asleep.The amended filing uses different language, stating that Peters "had sex with Mendoza multiple times while she was intoxicated." It no longer includes the earlier explicit allegations of nonconsensual sex.Moss explained the decision in a statement to NBC News.“In light of Mr. Peters’ recent posts and other conduct, this matter is more appropriate for the criminal justice system,” Mendoza’s lawyer, Drew Moss, said in a statement, noting that the sexual assault claim was dropped “due to the pending criminal charges in Massachusetts.” “Ms. Mendoza does not want her civil case to interfere with that process.”Peters has previously denied the criminal allegations. His spokesperson declined to comment on the latest civil complaint.Clavicular still faces claims over alleged cosmetic injectionsAlthough Mendoza has removed the sexual assault claims from her civil lawsuit, several other allegations remain. The amended complaint accuses Peters of battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment and unauthorised publication of name and likeness.The dispute also involves an alleged incident during a November 2025 livestream in Florida. Mendoza claims Peters injected her face with Aqualyx, a fat-dissolving compound, without her consent. She alleges that he did not disclose that the substance was not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and misled her about what he was injecting.The filing further alleges that Peters knew Mendoza was 17 at the time. It includes screenshots of livestream comments in which viewers allegedly warned him about her age.The criminal proceedings in Massachusetts remain separate from the civil case in Florida. Peters' next scheduled hearing appeared on the court docket as October 22, after his previously planned October 14 arraignment was cancelled.For now, the amended complaint narrows the civil dispute without resolving the outstanding allegations. The criminal case will proceed through the Massachusetts justice system, where the charges must be addressed through the legal process.You use AI every day. Now get your AI Quotient.
