Stephen Hawking's family has lashed out at allegations of 'inappropriate conduct' following the release of a photo of the late physicist associated with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. The picture depicts Hawking smiling in front of two bikini-clad women, published in the Department of Justice's Epstein documents.
A representative of the family said, 'Professor Hawking made some of the greatest contributions to physics in the 20th century while at the same time being the longest-known survivor of motor neurone disease, a debilitating condition which left him reliant on a ventilator, voice synthesiser, wheelchair and round-the-clock medical care.'
