Elon Musk’s father is accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren – including one he allegedly touched when she was four and later had a child with

Elon Musk‘s father has been accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren since 1993, including one he allegedly touched when she was four years old – who he later had a child with. 

The explosive allegations against Errol Musk, 79, are allegedly why the tech billionaire and Tesla founder has kept his distance from his estranged father over the years.

Despite being outspoken on social media, the 54-year-old mogul has rarely delved into his strained relationship with his father. 

Errol made headlines when he had a baby with his own stepdaughter, who was 40 years younger than him.

The accusations have repeatedly seeped into Elon’s life, reported the New York Times, which has seen more than 50 personal letters and emails and has conducted interviews with relatives.

On several occasions, family members have contacted him for assistance and he has sometimes taken action to intervene, the newspaper said.

The family drama has meant the SpaceX founder has remained tied to South Africa, where he was born and where Errol lives, despite his booming business empire in the U.S and former role in the Trump administration.

Errol is accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren in South Africa and California, as per police and court records, personal correspondence, social workers and interviews with relatives, The New York Times reported.

The earliest allegation dates back to 1993 when the businessman’s stepdaughter, then four years old, accused him of touching her at a family house.

She told relatives about the incident. A decade later, she said she caught Errol sniffing her dirty underwear.

She said she later had a baby with him when she was in her 20s and has grappled with drug use, while her mother – who married Errol twice – has struggled with mental health issues. 

Other family members have accused him of abusing a stepson and two of his daughters. 

Two years ago, his then five-year-old son accused him of groping his buttocks, causing family members and a social worker to intervene, The New York Times said.

Over the three decades of allegations, three separate police investigations were opened, according to records and relatives cited by The New York Times.

Swimming instructor, 75, accused of molesting over THREE HUNDRED children he groomed at work

More than 300 children are believed to be victims of a 75-year-old swimming instructor who allegedly groomed and molested boys as young as 12 over almost 30 years.

The horrific accusations of abuse brought investigators close to tears as they recounted dozens of charges against Donald Douglas Williams stemming from his work teaching at a correctional facility for minors from 1988 to 2017.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said they believe Williams assaulted more than 300 youths between the ages of 12 and 18 over the course of 26 years, from 1989 to 2015, while he worked at the Nova Scotia Youth Centre. 

‘This instructor held a position of authority, and the young people he victimized should have been able to trust him and feel safe with him,’ said Staff Sergeant Rob McCamon, the acting officer in charge of Major Crime and Behavioral Sciences, during a press conference this week.

Williams is so far charged with 32 counts of sexual exploitation, 28 counts of sexual assault, three counts of sexual assault causing bodily harm, one count of sexual interference, one count of invitation to sexual touching, and one count of assault. 

All of Williams’s alleged victims were boys, except for one girl, according to police. 

While currently facing 66 charges, police expect more alleged victims to come forward as the investigation continues.

‘Because of the bravery and patience of those who come forward to report sexual abuse they suffered at the Nova Scotia Youth Centre so many years ago…we’ve been able to arrest and charge their perpetrator,’ said Sergeant McCamon.

Man claimed to shoot Charlie Kirk to ‘draw attention from the real shooter,’ police say

Police say that a Salt Lake City man — who was no stranger to the state’s political scene — claimed responsibility moments after the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, in an attempt to “draw attention from the real shooter.”

The arrest also sparked a child pornography investigation.

George Hodgson Zinn, 71, was booked into Utah County Jail for investigation of obstruction of justice and sexual exploitation of a minor on Monday, following a few days at a hospital. Newly released police documents also detail more of what happened that led to his arrest at Utah Valley University, which sparked a firestorm on social media.

After the lone shot was fired shortly after 12:20 p.m. last Wednesday, and as Kirk’s security team rushed him to a hospital, officers at the scene reported that they saw an older man lying on the ground surrounded by people who appeared to be tending to him.

The man, later identified as Zinn, told the officer, “I shot him, now shoot me” twice, according to a jail report compiled by UVU police. The officer reported that he could not see a weapon, but he placed Zinn in handcuffs while others at the scene cleared the area.

Once in custody, Zinn continued to say he was the shooter, the report continued. Officers asked Zinn where the gun was, but they say he refused to tell them. He reportedly asked for his attorney when he was brought back to the university police headquarters for questioning, even after police said they didn’t believe he was the shooter.

He later said he “did it to draw attention from the real shooter,” police wrote in the report. He was first taken to a nearby hospital for an undisclosed medical condition. While at the hospital, Zinn told an officer that “he was glad he said he shot the individual so the real suspect could get away,” the affidavit adds.

Zinn was released from the hospital on Monday and then booked into Utah County Jail.

Photos and video of his arrest quickly spread on social media, leading to erroneous reports that he was the shooter. Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason announced that Zinn was taken into custody but had been cleared as the shooter within hours of his arrest.

Authorities ultimately determined that the single shot came from the roof of the nearby Losee Center, located about 175 to 200 yards from where Kirk was speaking underneath a tent. The single shot struck him in the neck, causing significant blood loss.

Kirk, 31, was later pronounced dead at the hospital. He was at UVU as part of the “American Comeback Tour” hosted by Turning Point USA, the organization that he founded.

Tyler Robinson, 22, of Washington, Washington County, was taken into custody late Thursday and booked into Utah County Jail on Friday for investigation of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing injury and obstruction of justice. Authorities say charges in the case could be filed against Robinson as early as Tuesday. He’s also scheduled to make his first court appearance.

Meanwhile, a motion was filed on Monday to hold Zinn without bail in relation to his arrest. It wasn’t immediately clear if he had obtained any legal representation in the case. There is nothing in the police document to suggest that Zinn and Robinson were connected in any way.

Utah County sheriff’s deputies also launched another investigation into Zinn while he was hospitalized.

Revealed: 100 new Epstein emails ‘that could destroy’ Prince Andrew: Cache of ‘devastating’ messages between the Duke and convicted paedophile unearthed in US probe

Prince Andrew could be ‘destroyed’ by a cache of more than 100 secret emails contained in the Epstein Files, The Mail on Sunday has been told.

Multiple well-placed sources have revealed that potentially ‘incriminating’ emails between the Duke of York and the convicted paedophile are contained in hundreds of thousands of documents currently being reviewed by the US Congress before they are made public.

One source said: ‘If you think what’s happened to Peter Mandelson is bad then you have no idea what will happen when the Andrew emails are released. They are embarrassing and incriminating and he could be destroyed.’

Lord Mandelson was fired as British ambassador to Washington last week after a string of embarrassing emails between himself and Epstein were released. 

In one, ‘Petie’ urged the billionaire to fight back against his conviction for soliciting a child for prostitution. 

David Boies, the high-powered lawyer who represented Andrew’s accuser Virginia Giuffre, says he believes there is enough evidence to open a criminal investigation into the prince.

Andrew vehemently and consistently denied Ms Giuffre’s claims that she was sex-trafficked to him by Epstein. 

In 2022, the duke reached a reported £12 million civil settlement with Ms Giuffre – who committed suicide earlier this year – with no admission of guilt.

Several embarrassing emails between Andrew and Epstein have already been revealed in legal papers over the years, including one in which the prince said: ‘Keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!’

That email, from February 2011, was unearthed in court documents from a case brought by the Financial Conduct Authority against Epstein’s personal banker Jes Staley.

Legal documents said the email was sent ‘by a member of the British Royal Family’, which the BBC and others widely reported was Prince Andrew.

When Ms Giuffre, previously known as Virginia Roberts, first made claims against the duke he fired off an email to his close friend Ghislaine Maxwell, who was subsequently jailed for her role as a child sex trafficker for Epstein. 

In the message, sent on January 3, 2015, he said: ‘Let me know when we can talk. Got some specific questions to ask you about Virginia Roberts.’

Maxwell replied: ‘Have some info. Call me when you have a moment.’

The MoS understands that there are ‘at least’ 100 emails involving Andrew contained within the Epstein files. 

Some come from an account with Pipex, one of the UK’s first commercial internet providers. That email address is listed alongside multiple phone numbers for the duke found in Epstein’s infamous ‘little black book’.

Man admits to raping girl thousands of times and impregnating her — he has agreed to unbelievable plea deal

AConnecticut man who raped and impregnated a girl in his care agreed to take a plea deal and could only serve five years in prison.

Roger Barriault, 65, of Bristol raped the girl thousands of times beginning when she was 9 years old and impregnated her when she was 12 years old, according to police records. A DNA test of the girl’s daughter proved that he was the father.

Despite the horrific nature of the accusations, Barriault was given a plea deal for first-degree sexual assault. The charge carries a sentence of 25 years that can be suspended after 10 years. He must serve a minimum mandatory sentence of 5 years in prison with 20 years of probation.

Barriault was arrested after the victim, who is now an adult, went to police in 2023. She said that the Connecticut Department of Children and Families had put her in the care of a person who introduced her to Barriault. She ended up in his care and faced daily sexual assault.

Longtime head of Mexican megachurch is indicted in New York on federal sex trafficking charges

The longtime head of a Mexican megachurch who is serving more than 16 years in a California prison for sexually abusing young followers has been charged with racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking for allegedly victimizing members of the church for decades, authorities said Wednesday.

A federal grand jury in New York returned the indictment alleging that Naasón Joaquín García, 56, and five others exploited the church for decades to enable the systemic sexual abuse of children and women for the sexual gratification of García and his father, who died in 2014.

The newly unsealed indictment said the criminal activity included the creation of photos and videos of child sexual abuse.

García was taken into federal custody early Wednesday in Chino, California, where he is serving a more than 16-year sentence after pleading guilty in 2022 to two state counts

His lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

García is the head of La Luz del Mundo (The Light of the World), which claims to have 5 million followers worldwide. Believers consider him to be the “apostle” of Jesus Christ.

Prosecutors in California have said that he used his spiritual sway to have sex with girls and young women who were told it would lead to their salvation – or damnation if they refused.

Besides García, one defendant charged in the case was taken into custody in Los Angeles while another was arrested in Chicago, authorities said. Three others were at large.

According to the indictment, two of the defendants and others tried to destroy evidence and prevent victims of the sexual abuse from speaking to law enforcement after García was arrested.

In Police Youth Program, Abuse Often Starts When Officers Are Alone With Teens in Cars

In May, prosecutors in Seattle charged a sheriff’s deputy with raping a 17-year-old girl. The deputy met the teenager while he was an adviser in his department’s youth mentorship program known as Explorers.

The victim, now 24, came forward in May to report the abuse, which she alleges took place in 2017 and 2018. The assaults allegedly began after King County Sheriff’s Deputy Ricardo Arturo Cueva told her she was cute and that he liked her while they were alone on a ride-along in his police SUV. Cueva — who is 15 years her senior — later kissed the teenager while they were on a separate ride-along at night. Prosecutors contend that Cueva’s abuse escalated, according to court records, to include sexual assaults in his sheriff’s vehicle and his home. The age of consent in Washington state is typically 16, but rises to 18 if the other person is in a position of authority.

This story was published in partnership with The Guardian.

Law enforcement departments across the country have Explorer programs — overseen by Scouting America, formerly known as Boy Scouts of America — and they have a history of sexual abuse and misconduct, as The Marshall Project reported last year. Ride-alongs, in which young people accompany officers on their patrol shifts, are a key perk of the Explorers program.

They are also a gateway to abuse.

The Marshall Project examined hundreds of abuse allegations in law enforcement Explorer programs and found that about a quarter of them involved officers on ride-alongs with teens — some as young as 14 years old.

“Mr. Cueva staunchly maintains his innocence, and we intend to thoroughly investigate his case and defend him vigorously,” Cueva’s attorneys, Amy Muth and Jennifer Atwood, wrote in a statement. Cueva pleaded not guilty to the charges.

HORROR: Career Criminal with Six Violent Arrests Released From Jail Rapes 4-Year-Old Child, Gives Her STD

Another monster released from jail has committed a heinous crime.

A career criminal with six violent arrests was released from jail, and weeks later, he raped a 4-year-old child and gave her a sexually transmitted disease.

Anthony Jelks, 25, was “well known” to Baton Rouge police because he has a history of violent arrests going back several years.

Just weeks after being released from prison after his most recent arrest, Anthony Jelks is accused of raping a little girl and giving her an STD.

“We’ve arrested him six times over the last 6 or 7 years,” Baton Rouge Police Chief T.J. Morse told WAFB. “Everything from firearms charges to domestic abuse battery, violation of protective orders. He’s currently on probation.”

WAFB obtained court documents revealing Jelks was previously arrested for punching a woman in the face, domestic abuse battery with serious bodily injury, child endangerment, and other firearms charges.

According to police, Jelks raped a child on August 1, just weeks after he was released from jail, and gave her Chlamydia.

Jelks finally turned himself in to the authorities on Monday morning.

Critics say ‘woke’ Liberal approach to crime led to alleged child assault

Critics lambaste the Carney government’s “show about nothing” on crime, arguing their policies worsen the issue and create a “horror show” in communities, citing cases of child assault, and a father’s death defending his children. 

Panellists highlight the “catch and release” justice system, which even liberal mayors condemn, saying their streets are overrun by criminals. They also criticize Carney’s minister for attacking self-defense. 

Rebel News reporter David Menzies emphasizes that after 10 years of liberal laws, Canada is like the “Wild West,” with citizens fearful and drug deaths at a record high.

Panellists criticized Canada’s handling of alleged child rapist Daniel Senecal, who identifies as female and is treated accordingly in custody, including strip searches by female officers. They labeled this a “farce,” arguing that Canada is no longer a “serious country” if it accepts such claims without question, especially given past prison rapes by men claiming to be women. 

Sue Ann Levy critiques “gender identification nonsense,” citing statistics that over 80% of “transgender women” are imprisoned for sex assault, likening it to “the fox in the chicken coop.” She attributes this to a decade of “woke policies” under Trudeau and Carney, “woke judges,” and DEI, leading to an “oppression Olympics.” 

She suggests many men claiming to be women have a fetish.

Another panellist argued that while peaceful coexistence with trans people is acceptable, issues arise when “transgender women” enter female-only spaces (changing rooms, bathrooms, sports, shelters, prisons), negatively impacting biological women. He doubted Carney’s policies would resolve this “trans sanity,” given Carney’s daughter identifies as male. 

They denounced the imposition of gender identity on Canadians as “despicable” and an example of “wokeism” overriding common sense.

Epstein survivors creating ‘own list’ of high-profile sex abusers

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse announced on Wednesday they’re preparing their own list of high-profile names who allegedly sexually abused them, and one of the victims indicated Donald Trump was the pedophile’s “biggest brag forever” when it came to friendship, though she did not suggest the president was among the perpetrators.

“Let me announce now,” said Lisa Phillips, a model brought to Epstein’s Caribbean island in 2000, “several of us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list of names. We know the names. Many of us were abused by them. Now together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world. And it will be done by survivors and for survivors, no one else is involved. Stay tuned for more details on that.”

Epstein’s victims have declared they will release the names of his clients independently, without any government involvement.

They said they’ve had enough and will expose every single client they know. pic.twitter.com/AgG5ZitULY

“I’m demanding justice,” Phillips added. “Congress must choose. Will you continue to protect predators? Or will you finally protect survivors?”

Another victim of Epstein’s sexual abuse, Chauntae Davies, pointed out how Jeffrey would brag about being friends with fellow Palm Beacher Donald Trump.

“His biggest brag forever was that he was good friends with Donald Trump,” Davies said. “He had an 8-by-10 framed picture of him on his desk, with the two of them.”
