  "account": "Boston authorities have charged 20-year-old Clavicular, a prominent social media influencer involved in the looksmaxxing movement, with rape, drug-related offenses, and underage alcohol provision. Braden Peters faces these charges after allegedly drugging a 17-year-old girl and coercing her into sexual intercourse without consent. The incident allegedly occurred at Peters' family home on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Peters' spokesperson, Mitchell Jackson, claims the accuser had previously filed a lawsuit against him, which led to the police involvement when he refused to pay her. According to court documents, the accuser reported the incident to Chatham police on June 4, stating that Peters invited her to a livestream video after paying her to be a part of it. She claims that Peters gave her vodka, which he later admitted was actually water, and encouraged her to lie about her age on the livestream, claiming she was 18. The girl alleges that she became increasingly intoxicated and fell asleep in Peters' bed the next morning, only to wake up to him having sex with her without her consent.",
