Stephen Hawking's family has responded to the release of a photo of the late physicist with two women, linked to the Epstein case. The women were caregivers for Hawking, who suffered from motor neuron disease. The photo was taken in 2006 during a scientific symposium in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The family stated that any suggestion of improper conduct is incorrect. Additionally, Hawking's name has not been associated with any charges related to the case.
