Reasoning
The accuser's refusal to speak with reporters and reluctance to engage is a concealment behavior, but it is the accuser's own choice, not evidence of exploitation or trafficking control. The journalist pretext is aggressive but not a trafficking indicator. Baseline concealment score (0.3-0.5) does not exceed 0.5 threshold in isolation; accuser self-protection does not suggest victimhood in this event alone. High confidence reflects clear distinction between reticence and coercion.
