Indicators
Reasoning
Per the reported_allegation rule, this event is scored on the SUBSTANCE of Trump's statement about Epstein, not the act of reporting it. Trump's explicit reference to Epstein preferring women 'on the younger side' combined with 'many of them' suggests a pattern targeting youth. The statement normalizes and endorses this preference, raising concerns about public-facing indicators of exploitation patterns. High confidence due to explicit youth-preference language.
