Reasoning

This is a reported_allegation per the REPORTED_ALLEGATION RULE; the event describes a news article about Acosta's prosecutorial discretion in Epstein's plea deal, not a direct trafficking act. The article's subject matter (prosecutorial decision-making) does not contain primary trafficking signals. Confidence is high due to unambiguous classification as journalistic reporting.
