We have the benefit of hindsight. It is possible Chomsky didn't know about that. Possible. Epstein knew lots of people - only some of them went to the island and not all of those went to assault kids.
It's correct to be suspicious. Even very suspicious. It is not correct to draw definite conclusions without more information. The information that we have does not implicate him in illegal stuff, so far.
Epstein was convicted of procurement of minors to engage in prostitution in 2008, Chomsky met with him in 2015. That's enough hindsight for Chomsky as well if you ask me.
