Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript dated January 15, 2025, detailing the cross-examination of a witness named Rocchio. The questioning focuses on the validity of "offender-generated data" and the findings of several studies, including one by McElvaney and Culhane, about the disclosure patterns of child victims. Key points discussed include the potential for cognitive distortions in self-reports and a study finding that a majority of children first disclosed to their mothers and peers.
