I wonder if he has threatened to sue proactively... something off here, this is a big story regardless of the outcome in court.

I mean, I don't know if it is. It honestly feels pretty flimsy as it stands.
Currently all we know is that Katz is being named in a countersuit from a couple who is being sued for sexual abuse by this woman. They're attempting to shift the blame by accusing Katz of engaging in underage prostitution by paying her 75k when she was 17 in exchange for sex.
The woman's legal team has denied it. Katz has denied it. There likely won't be any evidence the money was used in exchange of sexual services. The couples lawyers may not even be able to prove they had sex unless either admits to it.
We know a lot of money was exchanged and that Katz is a disgusting creep. However, those texts do not confirm the accusation. Even if they did have sex, if it can't be proven to be transactional then it was consensual according to the law.
I have ZERO doubt it's real, but unless they've buried the lead and have some really damning evidence that hasn't been presented, I don't think this is going to hold up in civil court let alone criminal.
