Summary
This document is a court transcript from a legal case, filed on August 10, 2022, capturing the direct examination of a witness named Rocchio. Rocchio testifies that it is common for children to delay disclosing abuse, often not speaking about it until adulthood, and that the younger a child is, the more likely they are to delay disclosure. The testimony identifies this as a recognized phenomenon and mentions ongoing research into the "internal and external barriers" that prevent children from reporting abuse sooner.
