		</div><p>The estranged wife of a British cave explorer labelled “pedo guy” by billionaire Elon Musk said any allegations of paedophilia against her husband are “totally false”.</p>
<p>Vernon Unsworth is suing the Tesla co-founder for defamation over tweets sent following the Thai cave rescue in 2018.</p>
<p>In response Mr Musk tweeted on July 15 calling Mr Unsworth “pedo guy”. The tech entrepreneur denies that is an allegation of being a paedophile.</p>
<p>A defamation case is under way in federal court in California and on Thursday Mr Unsworth’s wife gave evidence via a video deposition.</p>
<p>She told the court she was aware of Mr Musk’s statements, and when asked what she thought had been said, Mrs Unsworth replied “he has called Vernon a paedophile”.</p>
<p>Mrs Unsworth said he was “devastated” by being called “pedo guy”. Asked if an allegation of paedophilia against her husband was false, Mrs Unsworth replied: “Totally false.”</p>
<p>Mrs Unsworth, who works at a primary school, said she and Mr Unsworth met in 1987 while working in the same offices in St Albans, before marrying in 1993. They have one daughter, Danielle, 24.</p>
<p>The Unsworths separated in 2013 but have never divorced. Mr Unsworth has a new partner, Woranan Ratrawiphukkun, known as Tik, who he met in 2011.</p>
<p>Asked if she knew why her husband travelled to Thailand in 2011, Mrs Unsworth said as far as she was aware, it was a caving trip.</p>
<p>Mrs Unsworth was also asked if she found any evidence her husband had found a new partner and said she once found a note in London that she believes to be from Tik.</p>
<p>When asked about the marriage failing, Mrs Unsworth said: “When a marriage comes to an end, you are disappointed.”</p>
<p>Earlier this week Mr Unsworth took to the stand to say Mr Musk’s tweets left him feeling “humiliated, ashamed, dirtied”.</p>
<p>Mr Musk, who appeared in court on Tuesday, insisted the phrase “pedo guy” was commonly used in his native South Africa and meant “creepy old guy” and not that Mr Unsworth was a paedophile.</p>
<p>Mr Unsworth is suing for damages. The trial continues.</p>
