In the first batch of court documents related to the Epstein case revealed this Thursday there is a surprising name that until now had not been publicly involved in the case, that of the late astrophysicist Stephen Hawking.
As the case summary shows in the 2015 lawsuit by Virginia Giuffre, an alleged victim of trafficking when she was 17, against Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, the pedophile emailed her partner to deny allegations that the Professor Stephen Hawking participated in an underage orgy.
In an email sent by Epstein to Maxwell on January 12, 2015, the pedophile asks his girlfriend to see if any of Virginia Giuffre’s friends or family would appear in court to help prove that her accusations were wrong. false.
Epstein wrote: “He may issue a reward to any of Virginia’s friends, acquaintances and family who come forward and help prove that his accusations are false […] The strongest (of the accusations) is the Clinton dinner and the new version in the Virgin Islands that Stephen Hawking participated in an underage orgy.
There are images that show that the famous physicist visited Epstein’s island in 2006 during a conference. It is not clear why the physicist was on the island, why Epstein wanted to refute the accusation of that orgy or whether it occurred or was just an accusation by Giuffre.
During his trip to the area, Hawking attended a barbecue with Epstein and took an underwater tour of the seabed off the pedophile’s island. As The Telegraph also reported at the time, the conference was funded by Epstein on the neighboring island of St. Thomas.
