Indicators
Reasoning
Per DENIAL/REBUTTAL rule, this is Epstein's denial of an allegation, not a trafficking act itself. The denial does not lower the underlying allegation's concern but reflects contestation. Scored low because the event type is communicative rebuttal; confidence is high because the rule is clear that denials are not scored as trafficking events.
