This document is page 81 of a court transcript filed on January 15, 2025, from Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell). It features direct examination testimony from a witness named Rocchio (likely an expert psychologist), explaining that studies show adolescents (ages 12-18) are statistically much more likely to delay disclosing sexual abuse until adulthood compared to other age groups. The witness attributes this to developmental stages where adolescents prefer confiding in peers rather than adults and desire to view themselves as competent.
