I don't have the context of the original quote, but from what you wrote, none of those are inaccurate. The most common problem with human trafficking is that the trafficcer places the victim in a position where they are or appear to be willing. Normally, they would not be trying to escape every moment they have. The misunderstanding of this is why people don't like the comment.
So what you're saying is that the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing but that she was coerced into doing so?
I tend to agree, and I suspect most people would, including Stallman.

What's missing here is some consideration about the judgement of Minsky. He was a smart and powerful person with a long life of experience. He has absolutely no excuse for what he did and he knew what he was doing.
Nor does RMS have an excuse for what he said and now we're finally seeing that the aloof misanthrope schtick only goes so far. Good riddance.
Agreed 100% regarding Minsky, but RMS wasn't defending Minsky's (alleged) creepery in an absolute sense, he was arguing against escalating one allegation against Minsky into another.
