Indicators

Reported allegation that Epstein paid to suppress civil proceedings and prevent victims from testifying about predatory conduct. This is concealment of trafficking/exploitation and victim silencing, both high-confidence trafficking indicators. Confidence slightly lower than EVT_002 due to settlement as intermediate act.
