Matt Denies Non-Consensual Sexual Intercourse Allegations and Claims False Reports
Talent and beauty personality Matt faces police scrutiny following at least three filed police reports alleging non-consensual sexual acts, according to reporting by the digital edition of Weekly Bunshun on October 28, 2026. The 32-year-old celebrity denied the allegations through legal representation and social media, while public speculation immediately questioned potential career impacts on his father, Yomiuri Giants legend and baseball instructor Masumi Kuwada.
Police Investigate Three Complaints of Sexual Assault
Weekly Bunshun published reports detailing three police complaints submitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. The allegations involve separate drinking incidents. One accuser, identifying as a victim, stated that early this year at a private membership bar in Nishi-Azabu, Tokyo, they were given tequila before experiencing sexual assault at Matt’s home by Matt and a male beauty influencer. Another accuser reported being pushed into a restroom following drinking at a karaoke establishment. Police are actively investigating the complaints.
Matt Denies Claims and Alleges Financial Demands
Matt’s defense team issued a direct denial of the sexual acts, stating to Weekly Bunshun that no such facts occurred and alleging that financial demands were made. Matt later updated Instagram Stories to reject the claims as false, writing that the accusers are larger male participants from a reality dating show, including two beauty doctors and a host. Matt accused them of seeking fame and money, adding that one accuser sent threatening messaging. Matt also stated that Weekly Shinchou had dropped a planned article after receiving explanations through legal counsel, while expressing severe criticism of Weekly Bunshun.
Rose World Denies Misconduct as Investigation Proceeds
On October 29, Matt’s management agency, Rose World, released a statement explicitly denying the misconduct allegations and confirming ongoing discussions with attorneys to explore legal action against the reporting outlets. The agency stated that Matt’s active schedule remains unchanged for now. Meanwhile, baseball fans and media observers have discussed potential fallout for Masumi Kuwada, the 58-year-old former professional pitcher and current baseball coach, as the investigation proceeds.
