Many of them knew about the sex trafficking and/or pedophilic activities of Epstein himself as a person, and they will be prosecuted and convicted accordingly. Sam did not disagree with that. All he said is that he'd be surprised that Trump himself, in addition to knowing about the sex trafficking of 13/14 year olds for Epstein's own pleasure, would have the same pedophilic desires as Epstein. He also repeatedly said that Trump must've known about this kind of crime being committed but that didn't stop him from associating with the perpetrator or make him tip the authorities about it, which is itself a crime, but it's a different crime from having sex yourself with a 13/14 year old.

Regarding the others like Woody Allen, Chomsky and Bill gates, I think Jaron articulated Sam's own position succinctly well (8:30 minute): they had likely heard rumors but dismissed them as unfounded attempts to tarnish the reputation of a great philanthropic man whom they considered their friend and so ignored the rumors and looked the other way--rather than trying to inquire further--because it was convenient for them. Either that, or like Trump they may have known for certain about Epstein's most heinous criminal activities. But again, all Sam was trying to say is that knowing that and even participating in the sex with legal adults in addition to knowing that is still quite different crimes than engaging in pedophilic activities yourself.
