Khelif Sues Musk, Rowling for Cyber-Harassment

Olympic gold medalist Imane Khelif has filed a criminal lawsuit in France naming Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling, among others, for cyber-harassment related to her gender identity. Khelif, who won in the women's welterweight boxing category at the 2024 Paris Olympics, has faced baseless claims online that she is transgender. The lawsuit accuses these high-profile figures of amplifying misogynist, racist, and sexist attacks against her. If successful, the accused could face jail time and significant fines under French law. Khelif and her attorney emphasize the emotional and psychological toll these online attacks have had on her. French authorities are now investigating the case.
