Jeffrey Epstein made a sick joke about Stephen Hawking "having sex with underage girls" on his island, emails have revealed. In a 2015 email to Andrew Farkas, the disgraced sex offender claimed that local newspapers were alleging Hawking had engaged in sexual activity with underage girls on the island.
Farkas replied jokingly that, if the claim were true, the sender would have earned a Nobel Prize in medical science. The exchange, made public by the United States Department of Justice in its latest batch of Epstein-related documents, is just one of roughly 2,000 emails the disgraced financier traded with the property tycoon. Hawking died at the age of 76 in 2018, having lived more than 50 years following his diagnosis of motor neurone disease.

It comes after photos of the late British physicist was pictured in the Epstein files with two women said to have been his carers.
The picture shows Hawking fully clothed on a sun lounger between two women, whose faces are redacted, holding tropical cocktails.
Hawking was among 21 leading scientists invited to attend a conference bankrolled by Epstein in March 2006, five months before the financier was first charged with soliciting prostitution.
The event, titled “The Energy of Empty Space That Isn’t Zero,” was held at the five-star Ritz-Carlton, St Thomas, in the Virgin Islands with excursions to Epstein’s nearby island retreat.
