Indicators
Reasoning
Wolff is advising Epstein that a legalistic defense is strategically unworkable because allegations involve characterization of victims as 'young, vulnerable, poor girls'-acknowledging the credibility and emotional weight of victim narratives. This references the underlying allegations but is strategic advice about defense posture, not evidence of ongoing trafficking. Scored below thread prior (0.15) because the reference acknowledges-rather than minimizes-victim vulnerability.
