Reasoning

Per REPORTED_ALLEGATION rule, this scores the alleged act (rape in 1994), not the act of reporting. Rape is a trafficking-relevant crime. An unnamed woman alleging rape by Epstein in federal court is substantive sexual violence allegation with credible sourcing (Reuters journalist, federal court filing). High confidence reflects the gravity and specificity of the allegation.
