Reasoning

Under the REPORTED_ALLEGATION rule, the underlying alleged act (child sexual exploitation at a sex party) is scored, not the reporting. The allegation describes a minor solicited/transported for sexual services - a core trafficking indicator. Confidence is high due to specificity of allegations (age, context, party setting), though the Daily Mail's 'fabricated' framing introduces some interpretive ambiguity. Epstein's apparent circulation of the denial article signals reputation management around exploitation allegations.
