Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious financier and sex offender, was desperate to clear his name from the allegations of Virginia Giuffre, one of his many victims. Giuffre claimed that Epstein forced her to have sex with him and other powerful men, including former President Bill Clinton and renowned physicist Stephen Hawking.
Epstein, who died in prison in 2019, was in contact with his alleged accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking charges. A new batch of documents of 946 pages, released by the Southern District of New York on January 3, 2024, reveals the correspondence between the two.
In an email dated January 12, 2015, Epstein urged Maxwell to offer a reward to anyone who could help disprove Giuffre’s allegations.
“You can issue a reward to any of Virginia’s friends, acquaints, family that come forward and help prove her allegations are false,” he wrote.
He also mentioned two specific events that Giuffre alleged to have taken place: a dinner with Clinton and a trip to the Virgin Islands where Hawking was present.
“The strongest is the Clinton dinner, and the new version in the Virgin Islands that Stephen Hawking participated in an underage orgy,” he stated.
What Was On Epstein’s documents?
The email was part of a 946-page collection of court documents from Giuffre’s 2015 lawsuit against Maxwell. He was accused of recruiting and grooming young girls for Epstein. The lawsuit was settled in 2017, and Maxwell is the only person who has been convicted in relation to Epstein’s crimes.
Giuffre, who was 17 years old at the time of the alleged abuse, said that Epstein flew her to the Virgin Islands in 2006, where she met Hawking, who was attending a conference there. She said that Epstein hosted a party on his private island, where he forced her to have sex with him and other guests, including Hawking.
Hawking, who died in 2018, was a renowned physicist who made groundbreaking discoveries about black holes and their radiation, as reported by NASA. He was born in 1942, and suffered from motor neuron disease since he was 21 years old. Hawking spent most of his life in a wheelchair, and communicated through a voice synthesizer. He had three children with his first wife, Jane Wilde, whom he married in the 1960s and divorced in the 1970s.
Epstein and Maxwell have denied all the allegations against them, and Hawking never commented on the claims. The documents released by the court are part of a larger trove of evidence that could shed more light on the extent and nature of Epstein’s sex trafficking ring, which involved some of the most influential people in the world.
