Explicit denial of underage procurement in response to apparent allegationsCharacterization of alleged victims as adult 'massage people'Age defensiveness ('certainly looked over age')Implication that multiple individuals were present and provided massage servicesReactive framing suggesting underage procurement was a specific accusation

Reasoning

Epstein's categorical denial ('Jeffrey never asked for underage, that is crazy') in conjunction with his insistence that massage workers 'looked over age' indicates underage procurement was a central allegation against him. The specificity and defensiveness of the denial, combined with contextual references to girls soliciting massage work, constitutes strong indirect evidence that trafficking of minors was being alleged.
