Reasoning

Per DENIAL/REBUTTAL RULE: The underlying allegation being denied-not the denial itself-should be scored. Epstein's denial explicitly references 'jane doe 1 and 2' (formal legal designations for alleged victims), acknowledges they solicited 'massage' work repeatedly, and defensively denies underage involvement and non-consensual conduct. The very specificity of the denial (naming patterns, massage framing, age appearance claims) confirms serious exploitation allegations exist. The allegation of systematic procurement through massage solicitation with youth-related concerns is high-confidence trafficking signal.
