This document is a page from a court transcript (Cross-examination of witness Rocchio) filed on January 15, 2025, related to Case 1:20-cr-00330 (USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell). The questioning focuses on Rocchio's qualifications as a forensic psychologist, specifically challenging whether they were explicitly qualified as an expert on 'grooming' in previous cases. Rocchio argues that grooming falls under 'interpersonal violence,' but admits to only testifying as a forensic psychologist approximately six times and being deposed four times.
