Representations: Films: »Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (often shortened to Law & Order: SVU or SVU) is an American crime drama television series created by Dick Wolf for NBC. The first spin-off of Law & Order, it starred Christopher Meloni as Detective Elliot Stabler until Meloni left the series in 2011 after 12 seasons, and Mariska Hargitay as Detective (ultimately promoted to captain) Olivia Benson, now the commanding officer of the Special Victims Unit after originally having been Stabler's partner in a fictionalized version of the New York City Police Department. Meloni has since reprised his role as Stabler in the spin-off series Law & Order: Organized Crime (2021-present). Law & Order: Special Victims Unit follows the style of the original Law & Order in that some episodes are loosely based on real crimes that have received media attention.« -- More information: Wikipedia General Chronological Index: Modern History: 20th Century, 21st Century | Geographical Index: American History: U.S. History | Topical Index: Types: General: Rape I.

Detectives Benson and Stabler follow her link to a male stripper (Pete Starrett). He reveals their link was that he was recently gang raped by her and her two female lawyer friends, Amelia Chase (Diane Neal) and Pam Adler (Paige Turco) after the three women handcuffed him to a bed during a bachelorette party. ADA Cabot follows People v. Liberta (1984) and sues the women, who are represented by a defense attorney (CCH Pounder), for this non statutory female on male rape. The investigation of one of the women, Pam Adler, then reveals the suicide was in fact a murder, as the victim planned to come clean and expose her fellow rapists.« -- More information: Wikipedia Chronological Index: Modern History: 21st Century | Geographical Index: American History: U.S. History | Topical Index: Cases: Fictional Offenders: Pam Adler, Amelia Chase, Fictional Victims: Peter Smith; Types: Rape: Gang Rape; Offenders: Age and Gender: Female Adults; Victims: Age and Gender: Male Adults I.
