CROSS-EXAMINATION

BY MR. ROHRBACH:
3
Q. Good morning, Dr. Rocchio.
4
A. Good morning.
5
Q. Dr. Rocchio, you talked a bit about your review of

literature in connection with the topics that you talked about
7
today. Do you recall that testimony this morning?
8
A. I do.
9
Q. You yourself have not published anything specifically about
10
the topic of grooming, correct?

A. No.
12
Q. And you yourself have not conducted any metadata studies to
13
collect and analyze literature about grooming, correct?
14
A. Correct.
15
Q. And a metadata study is a somewhat comprehensive review of
16
the literature on the topic, analyzing that literature, and
17

analysis. Is that a fair summary of what that would be?
19
A. A statistical analysis, yes.
20
Q. So the studies that you were discussing with the jury are
21
studies that are done by other people, correct?
