Bill Gates contracted STD after sex with Russian women? Epstein Files make explosive, unverified claims
The latest tranche of documents released from the Jeffrey Epstein files has made unverified claims involving Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, alleging he contracted a sexually transmitted disease following relationships with Russian women, according to media reports.
The documents, which are said to include emails purportedly linked to the late convicted sex offender Epstein, further allege that Gates attempted to conceal the infection from his then wife, Melinda French Gates, by secretly seeking antibiotics. However, these claims remain unsubstantiated.
Responding sharply, a spokesperson for Gates dismissed the allegations as “absolutely absurd and completely false.”
The spokesperson told Daily Mail, as quoted by India Today, that the documents merely reflect Epstein’s frustration over not having an ongoing relationship with Gates and represent attempts to entrap and defame him.
The US Justice Department has said it has released more than three million pages of investigative material related to Epstein, including documents, photographs, and videos.
Although December 19, 2025, was the statutory deadline for releasing the files, officials stated that additional time was required to ensure redactions to protect victims. Democrats have since accused the department of continuing to withhold documents, claiming the total volume of records runs closer to six million pages.
The document release has reignited political controversy. While the Trump administration had initially resisted making public files that could link Epstein to influential figures — including politicians, business leaders, royals, and celebrities such as former US President Bill Clinton, billionaire Elon Musk, and Gates — the newly released material has also made fresh claims about US President Donald Trump’s alleged links to Epstein.
Jeffrey Epstein was a wealthy financier and convicted sex offender whose case became one of the most explosive scandals involving alleged sexual exploitation of minors and powerful elites.
After a 2008 conviction in a sexual abuse case, Epstein was arrested again in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges. He died by suicide in a New York jail while awaiting trial, triggering widespread controversy and conspiracy theories.
At the centre of public scrutiny are the so-called “Epstein files” — court records, flight logs, contact lists, and unsealed civil lawsuit documents.
While inclusion in these materials does not imply wrongdoing, their gradual release has intensified questions about how Epstein operated for years with apparent impunity and whether influential individuals were shielded from accountability.
