"The issues you have raised have been passed to the Regulatory Compliance team to consider as part of our ongoing case into the charity."
"In December 2025, legal activist organisation the Good Law Project confirmed its founder Jolyon Maugham KC filed a formal complaint against Sex Matters after commentator Richard Dunstan remarked that he "secretly enjoyed" being sexually abused as a child."
"Maugham KC, 54, said he had referred the remarks to the police, alleging that Mr Dunstan's post, referencing that the British barrister was sexually abused when he was 16, was part of a "toxic and invasive" campaign against him."
"According to Sex Matters, the "ongoing case" refers to a regulatory compliance investigation opened a year ago regarding complaints made over a post asking cisgender women to share their experiences of "men in women's sports"."
The Charity Commission has an open regulatory compliance investigation into Sex Matters following a formal complaint from the Good Law Project. The complaint arose after commentator Richard Dunstan posted that a human rights lawyer "secretly enjoyed" being sexually abused at 16, prompting the lawyer Jolyon Maugham KC to refer the remarks to police and call the campaign "toxic and invasive." The regulator confirmed the issues were passed to its Regulatory Compliance team as part of an "ongoing case." Sex Matters says the probe concerns data collection from a post asking cisgender women about "men in women's sports" and denies prior knowledge of Dunstan's comments.
