Professor Stephen Hawking seen with women in bikinis in new Epstein files photo

Professor Stephen Hawking has been picture with two bikini-clad women in a newly uncovered photo included in the Epstein files.

The ground-breaking British astrophysicist and cosmologist, who di£d in 2018 at the age of 76, can be seen grinning in the picture released along with the millions of documents relating to pa£dophile financier Jeffrey Epstein by the US Department of Justice this month.

No detail is provided on the date or location of the image, though many that appear alongside it appear to have been taken on Epstein's Little Saint James Island in the US Virgin Islands.

Hawking is already known to have visited Epstein's private island in March 2006 as one of 21 prominent scientists attending a five-day physics conference focused on gravity.

Epstein had not been charged with any s£xual offences at the time.

Photographs that emerged in 2015 showed the celebrated physicist at a barbecue in his wheelchair during this visit, and he was later taken on a submarine tour of the seabed around Epstein's island.

Hawking is referenced at least 250 times in the Epstein Files. Being mentioned in the files however does not amount to an accusation of any wrongdoing, and Dr Hawking has never been accused of any crimes.

His name appears in one 2015 email sent by Epstein to his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, in which he suggested offering a financial reward to any friends or family of Virginia Giuffre who could help disprove an allegation that Hawking had participated in an "underage orgy" in the Virgin Islands.

He wrote: "You can issue a reward to any of virginias friends acquaionts [sic] family that come forward and help prove her allegations are false. The strongest is the clinton dinner, and the new version in the virgin isalnds that stven hawking particpated in an underage orgy."

Virginia Giuffre, who famously accused Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of s£xual abuse di£d by su!cide in 2025.
