Indicators
Reasoning
Epstein's characterization of allegations as 'salacious and ridiculous' and instruction to lawyers to respond reflects legal/reputational damage control, which is a concealment signal (baseline 0.3-0.5). However, without visibility into the underlying allegations being denied, this scores as legal response to media inquiry rather than direct trafficking activity. Confidence is high because the event clearly documents defensive positioning rather than exploitation facilitation.
