Alexandra Vasilevna Mendoza has dropped the sexual assault count from her civil lawsuit against online streamer Braden Peters, known as Clavicular, but maintains that the allegations should be addressed through the criminal justice system.

Court documents filed Thursday show that Mendoza removed the rape claim from her lawsuit in Miami-Dade County. Her attorney, Drew Moss, told the Miami New Times on Tuesday that the decision was made because of the pending criminal case in Massachusetts, not because she had changed her account of the alleged incident.

“At this time, the sexual assault count against Braden Peters has been dropped from the civil litigation in Miami, Florida, due to the pending criminal charges in Massachusetts,” Moss said in a statement. “Ms. Mendoza does not want her civil case to interfere with that process.”

Moss also pointed to Peters’ recent social media posts and other conduct in explaining why the matter was better suited to the criminal justice system. He did not address why several attorneys from other firms filed to withdraw from Mendoza’s case the day after the amended filing.

Mendoza continues to pursue other claims in the civil lawsuit, including allegations that Peters provided alcohol to a minor and injected a fat-dissolving substance into her face. The sexual assault allegations stem from an alleged incident in Massachusetts when Mendoza was 17.

Peters, 20, is known for producing “looksmaxxing” content, an online trend focused on improving physical appearance that can involve extreme practices such as facial “bone smashing.” His management team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Peters’ next criminal court hearing is scheduled for Oct. 22, 2026. The withdrawal of the sexual assault count from the Florida civil lawsuit does not itself resolve the pending criminal case in Massachusetts.
