Summary
This page is a transcript from the direct examination of Dr. Rocchio in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330). The government moves to admit 'Government Exhibit 5,' an article written by Park Dietz, which is accepted without objection. Dr. Rocchio explains that he provided this article to the government to clarify the concepts of 'grooming' and 'seduction' as established patterns in sexual abuse dynamics, noting specifically how older literature often used terminology that victim-blamed.

Quote #1

9 Q. Dr. Rocchio, did you provide the government with this
10 article?
11 A. I did.
12 Q. Why did you provide the government with this article?
13 A. I was asked to provide examples to the government of
14 literature in the field that I thought might be helpful to the
15 court to understand the concepts that I'm talking about. This
16 does a really nice job of pointing to the part that the terms
17 grooming and seduction refer to a pattern of behavior that's
18 widely known and well established to be part of the dynamics of
19 sexual abuse. But in particular, I appreciated the author's
20 emphasis later on in the article of some of the problems with
21 the words seduction and some of the ways that much earlier
22 literature erroneously used terminology that could
23 inappropriately indicate a victim is blamed for the abuse that
24 they have been subjected to.
