New Images Connect James Watson to Epstein’s Residence


(MENAFN) Photographs recovered from records tied to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein reveal Nobel Prize-winning American researcher James Watson—renowned as one of the scientists who uncovered the structure of DNA—spending time with women inside Epstein’s residence, a report on Tuesday disclosed.

Pictures obtained by a British newspaper depict Watson, who passed away last year at the age of 97, posing cheerfully beside three young women in a reception area of Epstein’s mansion in New York City.

As outlined in the report, the exact date of the photographs remains uncertain; however, they seem to originate from the mid-to-late 2010s, several years after Epstein had been freed from incarceration following a child-sex conviction.

One image captures Watson standing next to one of the women while holding a document he authored concerning cancers and anti-oxidants.

Watson and his fellow scientist Francis H. C. Crick rose to prominence and were awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering the double-helix configuration of DNA, the molecule responsible for transmitting genetic information and forming the foundation of chromosomes.

His disputed assertions connecting race and intelligence led to his marginalization within the scientific sphere, culminating in the revocation of his honorary distinctions in 2019.

Meanwhile, Epstein seemed to support Watson’s broadly rejected opinions. In a 2016 email correspondence with Noam Chomsky, an American scholar, the financier claimed without evidence that "the test score gap amongst African Americans is well documented."
