Reasoning
The core allegation is explicit: commercial sexual exploitation of minors. Epstein 'paid for massages with sex' from girls he 'knew' (or should have known) were underage. This describes sex trafficking of minors under the guise of massage services-a classic TVPA indicator. Krauss's framing as unknowing does not diminish the trafficking nature of the alleged conduct.
