Braden Peters, the streamer better known online as Clavicular, is facing a civil lawsuit accusing him of sexually assaulting an underage plaintiff and injecting her with a non-FDA-approved fat-dissolving substance during a livestream.

The complaint splits into two main buckets of allegations. First, the lawsuit claims Clavicular had sexual contact with the plaintiff while she was under 18. The filing reportedly describes two separate incidents: one where the plaintiff was intoxicated, and another where she says she woke up to Clavicular having sex with her while she was asleep.

The second bucket centers on the injection. The lawsuit alleges Clavicular injected the plaintiff with an unapproved fat-dissolving drug on camera, despite having no medical license to administer it. The on-stream nature of the act is significant, since any archived footage could end up as direct evidence of how the substance was handled and how the plaintiff appeared at the time.

This is a civil case, not a criminal prosecution. That means the plaintiff is seeking damages rather than jail time, and Clavicular hasn’t been criminally charged based on what is currently public. The lawsuit is reported to seek around $50,000 in damages, though the exact figure and causes of action will be confirmed through the court docket.

The injection part is its own problem

Fat-dissolving injectables are a tricky category. Kybella, which uses deoxycholic acid, is the only FDA-approved option in the U.S. and is cleared only for treating a double chin. Products like Aqualyx, often name-dropped in cosmetic circles, aren’t FDA-approved stateside.

Even when administered by licensed professionals, these injections carry risks including swelling, infection, nerve damage, and tissue death. Administering one to a minor, off-label, on a livestream, without a medical license, is the kind of fact pattern that tends to draw serious legal attention.
