If I saw a very wealthy man with multiple significantly younger women, I would assume that he was probably paying them but not that he was abusing them.

Ok, but if you learned later that the guy was trafficking and raping women and children, and was selling them to other rich people for sex, that might color your perspective a bit? And if you looked back on that moment and said "I saw nothing strange or suspicious" I would think you were a liar.
