of course they won't admit. supposedly the prostitutes are a paid service with signed nda, so they can be sued. the only two ways for these rumors to be proven true is that the women get their puss tested for semen or if one of them gets preg and does a genetic testing, so SM can really just continue to deny everything til the end
