Reasoning
This describes alleged non-consensual contact (necking), which is sexual assault-not human trafficking. The denial emphasizes mutual discussion and agreement, presenting a credibility contest rather than trafficking indicators. Isolated incidents of unwanted contact do not constitute trafficking absent evidence of systemic exploitation, transport, or coercion for sexual services.
