An 18-year-old woman who promotes herself as the “#1 female looksmaxxer” is suing the highly controversial streamer Braden Eric Peters, aka Clavicular, for fraud, battery, and alleged sexual assault.

In the suit, which was filed in Miami-Dade County court and obtained by WIRED, Aleksandra Mendoza, who goes by the name @zahloria, or Alorah Ziva, on Instagram, alleges that she first encountered Peters in May 2025, when she was just 16 years old. According to the complaint, Peters promised Mendoza he could make her “the female face of looksmaxxing,” the online trend of using surgery or drugs to enhance one’s facial features.

Eager to grow her social media following, Mendoza agreed to make four looksmaxxing videos for Peters in exchange for a $1,000 payment, court documents say. The two allegedly began a text-based relationship, with Peters offering to pay for an Uber ride for Mendoza to visit him and his family in Cape Cod.

Upon her arrival, Mendoza alleges, Peters plied her with alcohol and “had sex with Mendoza while she was knowingly intoxicated, to the point where she was unable to give consent,” the complaint says.

Mendoza goes on to accuse Peters of nonconsensually having sex with her again the following morning while she was sleeping. The suit notes that Peters was aware of Mendoza’s age, referring to her as a “minor” in an online comment. (The age of consent in Florida is 18, but the state’s “Romeo and Juliet” law provides an exception for those who are older than their 14-to-17-year-old partners by four years or less.)

According to the suit, Mendoza bumped into Peters in Miami a few months later. He allegedly invited her to his house to livestream with him, promising that he could help her grow her following. During the livestream, he then allegedly injected her in the cheeks with Aqualyx, an injectable used to reduce fat in the chin, thighs, or stomach.

According to the US Food and Drug Administration website, Aqualyx is not approved by the FDA and can result in “permanent scars, serious infections, skin deformities, cysts, and deep, painful knots” in the skin if it is administered by a non-professional. Mendoza contends that her right cheek became “perforated” after she was injected by Peters.

Though Peters and Mendoza continued to have sporadic contact with each other, the suit alleges, their relationship soured in early 2026, when Mendoza signed a contract to promote an online trading platform. She alleges that she lost this sponsorship after Peters “began a campaign to discredit [her],” which the suit contends was due to Peters’ concerns over her exposing him.

Mendoza is suing Peters for battery, fraud, and emotional distress, and is seeking at least $50,000 in damages. In a post on X, Peters appeared to deny the allegations, writing, “The consistent theme of girls trying to use me for money is brutal for a young guy trying to navigate a complex society. Hopefully I can find a good girl whos [sic] intent is to not to screw me over and take my money.”

This is not the first time Peters has faced legal action. In 2026, he was arrested by Fort Lauderdale police for allegedly instigating a physical fight between two women and livestreaming it on the platform Kick. He is also reportedly being investigated by Florida state wildlife authorities for shooting a dead alligator on livestream.

Through her attorney Andrew Moss, Mendoza declined to comment. “She will tell her story through the legal process,” Moss said. “We do look forward to hearing from Mr. Peters and his lawyers.” A representative for Peters did not immediately return WIRED’s request for comment.

In the latest part of its 20-year concession to deliver high-speed mobile connectivity across the entire transport network, Boldyn Networks has been charged with delivering a 4G mobile network infrastructure that will enable the country’s Emergency Services Network (ESN) for London Underground.

Neutral host provider Boldyn Networks was awarded a 20-year concession by Transport for London (TfL) in June 2021 to deliver high-speed mobile connectivity across the entire London Underground network. TfL carries up to four million passengers a day on the London Underground network, and renewing and preparing the communications network for the future has long been regarded as essential to maintain and improve critical infrastructure.

The network upgrade is seen as an important step in updating London’s public safety critical communications, enhancing response times and improving the quality of information available to emergency services personnel addressing live incidents.

Boldyn’s delivery of infrastructure for ESN on the London Underground is being carried out in collaboration with leading UK mobile provider EE, TfL and the UK’s Home Office, with the primary aim of enabling more resilient and reliable communications services in the future for thousands of first responders including police, fire and ambulance services.

The ESN has endured a series of problems since its inception with the £2bn network project beset by delays and cost overruns. In 2015, the UK Home Office contracted suppliers to provide a new ESN to replace the existing and well-liked Airwave terrestrial trunked radio (Tetra) network used by all 108 police, fire and ambulance services across England, Scotland and Wales to communicate between the field and control rooms.

As part of its Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP), the Home Office intended ESN to fully replace Airwave, be less expensive and provide users with access to “modern” mobile data. The government expected to turn off Airwave in 2019. In the same year, the Home Office contracted BT-owned EE to provide priority access to its mobile network and increase network coverage. It also contracted Motorola Solutions UK for software and systems including critical features not normally found on a mobile network, such as a first-of-a-kind “push-to-talk” functionality.

Numerous delays and criticism of the role of Motorola Solutions eventually led to the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) opening an investigation into the role of the Airwave network in the ESN in October 2021, with a particular focus on the impact of Motorola’s dual role as the owner of the company providing the planned new mobile radio network and as a key existing supplier. In May 2023, the CMA recommended restricting how much Motorola can charge the emergency services to use Airwave.

In January 2025, after several further delays and much criticism from Parliament regarding the project and its leading technology stakeholder, the current government decided to embark on a different approach to deliver the infrastructure, appointing new IT and comms partners including IBM and Ericsson.

The deployment for London Underground will aim to provide “seamless” mobile coverage across the 137 Tube, Docklands Light Railway and London Overground stations located underground. It will provide first responders with immediate access to what could be lifesaving data, imagery, live video and public safety information, supporting faster and more coordinated responses to live situations.

Yet Boldyn also accepts that delivering these new capabilities within the London Underground presents unique engineering challenges because it is one of the UK’s most complex transport environments.

“Access to connectivity for the emergency services can’t be compromised, especially in an environment as complex as the London Underground. Critically, ESN will ensure first responders can stay connected when it matters most, with access to the data and tools they need to respond quickly, safely and successfully,” said Paul Osborne, chief commercial officer UK at Boldyn Networks. “We’re proud to continue our work with TfL and EE to help safeguard the millions of daily passengers across the London Underground network.”

In addition to the project to deliver mobile coverage across the Tube network, which remains on track for delivery by the end of 2026, Boldyn and TfL have committed to scaling the capital’s fibre backbone and installing small-cell technology on street furniture.

Commenting on the new project, TfL’s director of technology products and operations, Rebecca Bissell, said: “Keeping our customers and London’s emergency services personnel safe while they travel and operate across our network is our top priority. That means ensuring frontliners are equipped with immediate access to lifesaving information to respond more effectively to emergency situations and keep London moving safely.”

Faisal Mahomed, managing director of ESN mobile services at BT Group: “Extending ESN below ground marks another important milestone in our long-term commitment to empowering Britain’s emergency services with trusted, mission critical communications. We’re pleased to be working alongside Boldyn Networks and TfL to provide this service.”
