Indicators
Reasoning
This reported statement contains explicit references to preference for younger women, which directly maps to documented procurement and grooming indicators in the Epstein case. The framing of exploitation as 'social life' and the public amplification of this characterization represent normalization of predatory behavior. High confidence due to clear, documented language matching trafficking-related grooming and recruitment patterns.
