Reasoning

Per the DENIAL/REBUTTAL rule, this event is scored on the underlying allegations being denied (EVT_003), not the denial itself. The denial does not lower trafficking assessment of the underlying conduct. Epstein's statement emphasizing adult relationship and describing himself as 'kind, funny and generous' is defensive characterization, not a trafficking indicator.
