According to the New York Times on September 23, Elon Musk's father, Errol Musk, was suspected of sexually assaulting five children and their offspring in South Africa and California since 1993. These families have repeatedly appealed to Musk for help, prompting him to sometimes intervene.

The New York Times, citing personal letters, emails, police and court records, and interviews with Musk¡¯s family members, that Errol ¡°maintains strong control over most of the family members.¡±

Errol has three marriages and has at least nine biological children and two stepchildren. His first wife, Meyer Musk, and he have three children, including Elon Musk. His second wife, Heidi Mary, brought two stepchildren and had two daughters with him. He also has two biological children, possibly from an undisclosed third wife.

In addition, errol has two children with her stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhot.

The first accusations against him occurred in South Africa in 1993, when her 4-year-old daughter, Janna, told relatives that she had been hit by Errol¡¯s ¡°sweet pig hand¡± at home.

Elon Musk and his daughter Janna have two children.

About 10 years later, that is, around 2003, Janna claimed to have witnessed Errol smelling her dirty underwear. The incident was to California police and complained to the local child protection service department.

In 2009, Jana applied for a temporary protection order in South Africa, accusing Errol of forced kissing her.

Other family members also accused Errol of abusing two live daughters and a deceased descendant.

Between 2022 and 2023, a 5-year-old son said his father, Errol, had "touched his buttocks", triggering family members and social workers to intervene.

The New York Times said that law enforcement agencies had launched three investigations, two of which were closed due to insufficient evidence, and the results of the third investigation were unclear.

Janna has repeatedly accused Errol of sexual assault, but having two children for him could complicate things.

The allegations led to family divisions, and some relatives repeatedly appealed to Elon Musk for help, including a five-page letter he wrote in 2010 begging him to ¡°provide advice, help and guidance because we see these children suffer every day.¡±

Elon Musk did not respond to the reports, however, reports showed family members repeatedly appealed to him for help, and he occasionally interfered.

Errol Musk firmly denies all allegations. "These reports are extremely false and nonsense," he said in a response to the New York Times. He claimed there was no evidence to support the allegations and accused family members of "egging children on to tell lies" in order to extort money from Elon Musk.

Elon had a long-standing negative attitude towards his father. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in 2017, he said that Elon "doed almost all the evil things you can think of" and described his "carefully planned evil plan." Elon's mother, Mayer Musk, also accused Elon of physical and verbal abuse in her memoirs.

Sexual extortion of children in Britain has raised concern, and even Musk can¡¯t see it.

According to the Guardian, citing the Internet Watch Foundation data on March 9, 2023, the UK 176 cases of sexual extortion involving victims under the age of 17; in 2024, it was approximately equal to 175 cases, of which five cases were victims aged between 11 and 13.

British version of "Room N" incident

In October 2024, a case of sexual blackmail that shocked the whole country broke out.

McCartney sentenced to life imprisonment.

A 26-year-old Northern Irish man, McCartney, fake identity sending illusory pictures through chats and then conducting massive cyber sexual assault and blackmail. Victims across more than 30 countries, up to 3,500 people, ages ranging from 10 to 16. The same incident also led to a 12-year-old American girl and her father suicide.

During the investigation, police seized tens of thousands of disgusting photos of McCartney, the largest online dating scam in the history of the UK, and eventually sentenced McCartney to life imprisonment for cyberbullying and extortion of children worldwide.

The computer student showed an amazing computer talent from childhood, not only did he not use it in the right way, but he began to use the network in his own bedroom as a teenager.

He pretends to be a young girl, chats with other underage girls on the Internet, then lures them to send nude photos of themselves to himself, and then uses these photos to blackmail more indecent photos and force them to do all kinds of outrageous behaviors.

¡°His insults have reached industrial scales... his fall is endless,¡± said Emmett Corrigan, detective general at the Northern Irish Police Department, after the verdict.

One of the victims was 12-year-old Cimarron Thomas of West Virginia.

Simon, who lost his life at the age of 12.

After being deceived by her own illusory picture, McCartney continued to blackmail her.

Simon cried and asked him to stop, but he still threatened to send the photo to her father and friends.

The resulting evil McCartney immediately started counting back for her, and also told her, "Goodbye, good luck."

When people discovered Simaron again, she had killed herself with her father¡¯s gun.

What is even more striking is that Simon¡¯s father was originally a veteran soldier, and he attributed the cause of his daughter¡¯s suicide to himself, thinking that he had put his gun where ¡°an angel-like daughter¡± could get, so he felt deeply guilty.

Eighteen months after his death, he committed suicide.

A picture of Simon and Dad.

¡°We will never forgive, and we will never forget, the horrific things that this predator has done,¡± the father of one of McCartney¡¯s New Zealand victims said in a police statement.

The police seized 64 devices in McCartney's home, found tens of thousands of indecent photos extorted from underage girls, and long chat records of him humiliating girls. Even the most sophisticated detectives were shocked by his evil deeds.

Police have found McCartney¡¯s victims in more than 30 countries around the world, including the UK, the European Union, the United States, Australia, New Zealand...

Most of these victims were between the ages of 10-16 and the youngest were only 4 years old. According to a rough police estimate, the victims were more than 3,500.

The judge said that McCartney¡¯s ruthless behavior ruined the childhood of many people and caused countless families to fear the defendant¡¯s lack of normal human sympathy, an enthusiasm for degrading and humiliating young victims, and I can hardly imagine which sexual mutilator would be more dangerous than the defendant.¡±

Special agents of the U.S. Homeland Security Investigation Bureau who participated in the investigation of this case also said that McCartney committed a series of terrible crimes, and every minute he spent in prison was not wronged.

Unfortunately, while McCartney has been punished as he deserves, similar sexual extortion criminals still lay out.

In February, an eight-year-old girl in Edinburgh, England, was to be a victim of sexual extortion, and the school of the child was then reminded of the public to check their mobile phones to prevent more child victims.

From sexual extortion to sexual assault.

Sexually intimidating perpetrators often use social media to contact the victim to tempt the victim to send messages such as photos of themselves and then use the information to blackmail the victim.

Further crime is sexual assault from cyber blackmail back to reality.

At the beginning of this year, there was also a scandal of sexual assault on several girls in the British town of Rothschild, where Musk even published or forwarded more than 40 related posts in 24 hours.

It is estimated that between 1997 and 2013, at least 1,400 children, mostly white girls, were abused in the village of Rothschild, which has only 100,000 inhabitants, mostly Pakistani Britons.

The series ¡°Three Girls¡± is thrilling.

In 2022, the BBC launched a short drama called Three Girls. The short play was adapted from the background of "Rochdale Sexual Assault Case" and caused a sensation once it was broadcast. Minors, drugs, seduction, dereliction of duty... The plot is so explosive that many people can't stand it.

In 2023, when the British investigative journalist Charlie Peters¡¯ documentary ¡°Rape Group: The Shame of Britain¡± was released, a scandal covered for more than a decade was exposed again under the sunshine, the British people were shocked. Even Musk was upset about how the British people had lived through those dark childhoods and called on the British authorities to address such issues.

According to data provided by the National Crime Agency (NCA) and several child protection organizations, the number of cases of sexual extortion of children in the UK has grown rapidly. Experts point out that this growth is closely linked to the popularity of the Internet, the widespread use of social media, and the ever-escalating tools of cybercrime.

Shockingly, the age of the victims shows an obvious trend of younger age. Experts pointed out that children and adolescents are more likely to become targets of criminals because they lack sufficient network security awareness and self-protection ability.

A report by the UK children¡¯s charity ¡°Children¡¯s Hotline¡± shows that many victims feel extreme fear, shame and helplessness after being sexually extortioned, and don¡¯t even dare to seek help from parents or teachers.

Happy people use their childhood to heal their lives, but those hurt children have to heal their childhood all their lives.

It is hoped that all countries can strengthen network supervision and curb the occurrence of cyber crimes from the source. At the same time, the whole society needs to strengthen the education and assistance for minors and create a healthy and safe growth environment for them.

¡°Parents, please don¡¯t forget to communicate with your children to prevent the evil behavior of some people online.¡± ¨C Simon¡¯s words apply to every parent today.
