He was never well-liked and really didn't do anything to improve his relationship with the fans but I know a lot of us were shocked by the allegations of underage sex for which he was charged. There was a long period of "nothing" but it was just revealed he has been acquitted. Read the article at Road Racing World. |

Crazy story. Glad he was exonerated. |

Except that everyone still thinks he’s a child rapist. A reputation is a hard thing to recover, not to mention his career. Defamation lawsuit? Can you go after a prosecutor for pursuing a case based on that sort of evidence in Australia? |

It seems he does plan on it! |

Hadn't even heard of this before now. Matt was all business, but I have huge respect for his accomplishments, and I think he def helped Ben Spies mature and improve when they were competing. False charges of underage stuff ought to put the perpetrator in prison. That's just vile. |
