Algerian boxer and Olympic gold medalist Imane Khelif has filed a criminal complaint against J.K. Rowling, Elon Musk, and other major media personalities over alleged “acts of aggravated cyber harassment.”
According to Variety, Khelif filed the lawsuit in France on Friday, August 9th, in response to “online hate speech” and conspiracies targeting Khelif’s gender. Rowling and Musk, in particular, accused Khelif of being a man, despite the fact that she was born a female and does not identify as transgender or intersex.
Rowling and Musk were both named in the lawsuit, and Khelif’s lawyer, Nabil Boudi, indicated that additional defendants may be added to the complaint — including former president Donald Trump and boxer Logan Paul. “What we’re asking is that the prosecution investigates not only these people but whoever it feels necessary,” Boudi told Variety. “If the case goes to court, they will stand trial.”
