I am absolutely sure that there are cases where the rich and famous decide to settle in advance even though they are not guilty. Being dragged through the courts is no fun for anyone and can be very costly emotionally and financially, as well as career impacting etc.
I also feel that in this particular case a guilty verdict would be more or less a given, whatever the evidence. As per many of the posts in this thread, who have preconceived views. Also Jeffrey Epstein sounded a nasty piece of work so guilty by association too.
FWIW I think he was guilty as charged too but I also believe she had a good idea of what she was doing at the time (so her friend said anyway) and she seems to have done alright out of it - which I know doesn't absolve him but it does provide a possible motive if she were that way inclined.
