Reasoning
The spontaneous, emphatic denial of requesting underage girls ('that is crazy') combined with the hedge on age perception ('looked over age, never heard') is a strong trafficking indicator. The fact that Epstein is proactively addressing age-of-consent as a defense suggests age of victims is a contested/litigated issue. Consciousness that minors were involved is evident in the defensive construction itself.
