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. Hawking died at the age of 76 in 2018, having lived more than 50 years following his diagnosis of motor neurone disease.
