The late financier apparently hoped his association with the noted black hole theorist would help him battle child sex-trafficking allegations, newly unsealed records show

Call it a brief history of slime.

Jeffrey Epstein apparently hoped that his association with Stephen Hawking — and the improbable notion that the famed physicist would engage in an “orgy” — would him help battle child sex-trafficking allegations, newly unsealed court records show.

In a typo-riddled email made public on Wednesday night, the late pedophile financier told his since-convicted accomplice, onetime British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, to try to pay off people close to accuser Virginia Giuffre.

“You can issue a reward to any of virginias friends acquaionts family that come forward and prove her allegations are false,” he wrote on Jan. 12, 2015.

    He cheated on his first wife with his nurse who was significantly younger than him?

    I said philanderer, not pedophile.

    Epstein held Hawking up as proof he wasn’t scummy, implying high moral character of Hawking and by extension, himself.

    All I am saying is Hawking was pretty scummy and so its a weak defense.

      At least Hawking provided something to society.

      The sooner we forget Epstein’s name*, the better.

      • Forget his name, but not the fact he didn’t kill himself.
