Cave explorer dubbed 'pedo guy' describes hurt, humiliation
A British cave explorer who helped rescue a dozen boys and their soccer coach from a flooded Thailand cave last year testified Wednesday that Elon Musk branded him a pedophile and sullied his reputation. Unsworth said he had to sue Musk for defamation because if he didn't the allegation would seem true. "These reporters are taking the word 'pedo guy' and writing their story saying it's pedophilia," Wilson said. Unsworth also recommended the Thai government reach out to British cave rescue divers who ultimately located and rescued the boys. Stanton downplayed comments he made that some of Unsworth's advice about the cave only provided a "morale boost."
