Indicators
Reasoning
Per DENIAL/REBUTTAL rule, this is assessed as a denial of allegations. The statement 'no real sex' and demand for evidence is a direct rebuttal, not evidence of trafficking itself. The denial does not lower trafficking assessment of the underlying allegation but does not independently indicate trafficking activity. Confidence is high because the communicative intent is unambiguous.
