Summary
This document is page 87 of a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) involving the direct examination of a witness named Rocchio, filed on January 15, 2025. The witness, likely a clinical expert, testifies about the commonality of 'delayed disclosure' in victims of childhood sexual abuse, noting that disclosure is often delayed when there is a close relationship between the victim and the perpetrator. The witness explains that many patients first disclose abuse as adults, though some adolescents in inpatient settings also disclose.

1 often I've had individuals who, as, you know, older adults, say
2 to me, this is the first time I've ever told anyone, I've never

4 Q. How common is delayed disclosure in the patients you treat
5 and evaluate in connection with your clinical practice?
6 A. It's very common. The majority of the patients that I work
7 with who've -- who've experienced childhood sexual abuse, like
8 all victims of child sexual abuse, the abuses, a majority that
9 has occur, most likely will occur in the context of a
10 relationship. And we know that the closer the relationship

12 disclosure is.
13 So I would say that it's -- it's certainly not rare

15 person that the individual has told, but it's definitely more
16 common than not that they did not tell someone at the time that
17 it was occurring, that they told at some point significantly
18 later in time.
