=== Assistant: Short answer: ===
Short answer:
No, this line is not Epstein denying only the location. It is Epstein referring to the public allegation itself in a sloppy, conversational way, not giving a partial admission.

Here is the precise context so it is clear:
# The 2016 allegation
A civil plaintiff accused Trump and Epstein of raping her in 1994. Both men denied it. The lawsuit was filed, withdrawn, refiled, then withdrawn again. It never advanced, and no evidence was ever tested in court.
# Epstein’s 2017 email to Paul Krassner
When Epstein wrote:
"that alleged rape was reported to be at my house with donald and I raping her"
he was summarizing what the public allegation claimed. He was not giving a point by point rebuttal, nor was he carefully choosing legal language. Krassner was a humorist and provocateur, and Epstein often wrote casually to him.

Nothing in the email is structured like a denial, admission, or partial correction. It is simply Epstein paraphrasing what the accusation said.
# Why it reads odd
Epstein often wrote in clipped, unpunctuated, shorthand phrasing. That pattern shows up throughout his private emails. The phrasing here reflects that same style: sloppy, informal, and not structured like a defensive statement.
# The key part
He refers to the claim as an alleged rape that was reported to be at his house.
Those two phrases show he is referencing the claim as something that was said publicly, not something he is admitting or disputing in detail.

So to your question:

Is he denying only the location?
No. He is not making a denial at all. He is referencing a public accusation in shorthand, without offering any defense or correction. It reads like he is recounting the allegation, not parsing its validity.

If you want, I can lay out the full chain of emails, the Krassner context, and how investigators interpret this kind of language in private communications.
