He admits their relationship but claims it was consensual and when they were both adults, providing evidence of consensual sex occurring after she turned 18. 3. Benson and Barba are drawn into a court case to legalise CGI child porn, its' proponents claiming it is a victimless crime and would decriminalize millions and provide paedophiles a harmless outlet. 4. A hacker breaks into the NYPD and threatens to publish the details of one rape victim a day until those accused of rape are granted the same anonymity. 5. A family is torn apart when one daughter claims she and her sister were sexually abused by their father but the other daughter states she can't speak for her sister but was never molested herself. 6. A man is implicated in a series of rapes due to videos found in his possession. But when one is discovered to be consensual rape fantasy roleplay the whole case is thrown into doubt. 7. A woman reports her husband after discovering rape/incest stories being written on his laptop but it turns out to be the work of their teenage daughter, a huge fan of the fantasy series 'Crown of Swords' where such storylines are routine. Delving into the internet they find a website dedicated to incestuous affairs inspired by the show. 8.

A rapist targets women who have made previous false allegations, knowing their stories will never be believed. But could it be a cop?

You see I dislike that aspect of SVU, it gives people unrealistic expectations of what the police can achieve. In real life the adult rape conviction rate is about 2% because so much of it is he said/she said with drugs and alcohol in the mix, the violent stranger rape with injuries/death beloved of TV is comparatively rare in real life (child stuff gets a much better conviction rate because there is no issue of consent, if you've got DNA/child porn it's case closed). The detectives asking those questions are just asking the questions the defence will be asking in court.

It has become the Olivia Benson show, I remember the poster a few season back was just her.

I'd love to see that character back he was such a good opponent and gave the SVU a moments pause that they sorely needed, challenging their authority. I know RW has sadly left us but he could always come back played by a different actor with plastic surgery.
