Park Dietz. **MS. POMERANTZ: Your Honor, we move to admit Government Exhibit 5.** **MR. PAGLIUCA: No objection.** **THE COURT: Government Exhibit 5 is received. (Government's Exhibit 5 received in evidence)** **BY MS. POMERANTZ:** **Q. Dr. Rocchio, did you provide the government with this article?** A. I did. **Q. Why did you provide the government with this article?** A. I was asked to provide examples to the government of literature in the field that I thought might be helpful to the court to understand the concepts that I'm talking about. This does a really nice job of pointing to the part that the terms grooming and seduction refer to a pattern of behavior that's widely known and well established to be part of the dynamics of sexual abuse. But in particular, I appreciated the author's emphasis later on in the article of some of the problems with the words seduction and some of the ways that much earlier literature erroneously used terminology that could inappropriately indicate a victim is blamed for the abuse that they have been subjected to.** **MS. POMERANTZ: Can you pull up Page 31, please.** **SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.** **(212) 805-0300** **DOJ-OGR-00014934**
