A 2015 email from Epstein to his former girlfriend and co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, suggests Hawking was involved in the culture of sex abuse that thrived on Epstein’s private island. The email was included in discovery in connection with a defamation lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims, against Maxwell, for calling Giuffre a liar.
The email says that Giuffre, who would be instrumental in bringing down Epstein’s sex-trafficking empire, alleged that Hawking, while an island visitor, had participated in an “underage orgy.”
