This legal document, filed on October 29, 2021, argues for the admissibility of expert testimony from a Dr. Rocchio in a criminal case. The document outlines Dr. Rocchio's intended opinions on how grooming facilitates sexual abuse and why victims often delay disclosing trauma, asserting these opinions are reliable and supported by psychological literature. It distinguishes the defendant's alleged actions from 'grooming by proxy' and cites academic research to bolster the validity of the expert's claims about delayed disclosure.
