Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling have been named in a lawsuit filed to French authorities over alleged ‘cyber harassment’ against Olympic champion boxer Imane Khelif.
Nabil Boudi, Khelif’s attorney, has confirmed that the criminal complaint has been filed with the Paris public prosecutor’s office last Friday. ‘J. K.
Rowling and Elon Musk are named in the lawsuit, among others,’ Boudi told Variety . ‘[Donald] Trump tweeted, so whether or not he is named in our lawsuit, he will inevitably be looked into as part of the prosecution. ‘What we’re asking is that the prosecution investigates not only these people but whoever it feels necessary.
If the case goes to court, they will stand trial.’ The lawsuit has been filed against X, the social media platform owned by Musk, which means that under French law it was filed against unknown persons. The lawsuit accuses X of facilitating ‘acts of aggravated cyber harassment’.
‘It’s the responsibility of lawmakers to issue sanctions to platforms, not ours,’ Boudi said. Khelif, who became Algeria’s first Olympic gold medallist in women’s boxing and their first boxer to win gold since 1996, faced scrutiny over her participation in Paris after she was disqualified from the Women’s World Championships last year for failing the International Boxing Association’s (IBA) gender eligibility rules. The 25-year-old has always competed in the women’s boxing division and has identified as female since birth .
