Event Description

Michael Wolff advises Jeffrey Epstein against pursuing a legalistic defense strategy, noting that accusers have 'won the high ground' by being characterized as 'young, vulnerable, poor girls,' making direct legal argumentation counterproductive.

Quoted Evidence

At this point I don't think you can go legalistic. They've won the high ground-young, vulnerable, poor girls.

reference to 'young, vulnerable, poor girls'legalistic defense strategy discussion

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.
