Reasoning
Krauss explicitly states Epstein paid for sexual services disguised as massages involving underage girls. This is primary-source acknowledgment of sexual exploitation of minors. The statement that girls 'were underage' combined with 'paid for sex' constitutes direct trafficking indicator. Very high confidence due to unambiguous language identifying sexual services and minors.
