Reasoning
While this event concerns prosecutorial conduct rather than direct trafficking, Acosta's alleged lenient treatment enabled Epstein's continued operations and prevented justice for trafficking victims. Systemic failures that facilitate trafficking warrant trafficking-adjacent flagging given the thread context.
