      Eptsein pled guilty in 2005. There wasn’t much of a trial and YouTube was brand new, it did not have live streaming.

          The arrest where Epstein totally disabled cameras put two guards to sleep and then killed himself in a PC cell on suicide watch happened in 2019; before he was on trial for the latest information relating to his sex trafficking. He also plead guilty to a similar crime in 2005.
