TRAMA

Un uomo all'apparenza irreprensibile viene trovato legato, sodomizzato e marchiato a fuoco sul torace. Quando anche una seconda vittima subisce lo stesso trattamento, la squadra cerca un legame tra i due uomini, che pero' negano di conoscersi. Dopo un pedinamento, Benson e Stabler scoprono la realta' e' un'altra…

Fin talks to the super of Bill's building and discovers somebody dropped off a box two hours before Bill's assault. When the super opened the box the next morning, it was empty. Benson believes the attacker hid inside the box, and that's how he got inside the building. Before detectives can investigate further, they receive a phone call from another victim. Victor Ramos was found in his apartment in the same condition as Bill, except his brand reads "TRAITOR." Victor was drugged the same way Bill was. He was also sodomized with an unusual object, a candle from his table. Fin trails Victor after he leaves SVU, watching him meet up with Bill and another man named Alexander Gammon outside Gammon Imports. Fin shoots video of the three men screaming at each other. Stabler and Benson question Alexander, who says he was having a business argument with the two men. Fearing he'll be the next victim, the detectives set up surveillance in Alexander's apartment. The detectives watch as a delivery service drop off a box at Alexander's building, which resembles the one dropped off at Bill's building. They sit and wait. Just as suspected, somebody climbs out of the box with a syringe. The person sneaks into Alexander's apartment and is arrested on the spot by Stabler and Benson. They're shocked to see it's Camille, the woman who worked at the delivery service that dropped off the box. They bring her to SVU for questioning. The new ADA Jillian Hardwick says she can't prosecute Camille, because she doesn't have enough evidence linking her to the other crimes - especially if Bill and Victor stand by their story that a man must have attacked them. Jillian gets the detectives a search warrant for Camille's apartment. They find a photo from a summer camp, where teenaged Alexander was a camp councilor, Victor worked in the kitchen, and Bill was a lifeguard. Stabler and Benson head to Clean Air Camp to look for answers. Benson visits Camille in the lock-up to ask what happened to her that one summer she was at Clean Air Camp. Camille describes that on the Fourth of July, Alexander lured her to the woods by telling her there was a party. In the woods, she found Bill and Victor there, too. Bill and Alexander raped her. When Victor refused to do the same, he was taunted by the other two men until he did. Camille tells Benson that Alexander told her to not say a word after the attack because nobody would believe her. When Benson asks why Camille waited 14 years to get revenge, she explains that she was recently reminded of the baby girl she gave up for adoption as a result of the rape and has been having terrible flashbacks. Benson's shocked that pregnancy was the result of Camille's gang rape. Benson's shocked to hear Jillian's still going to prosecute Camille for the attacks. At trial, Bill testifies that he worked at the camp, but had no sexual relations with Camille. Later, Alexander tells the jury that Camille constantly came on to him while at camp and was sexually aggressive. During recess, Stabler confronts Victor to remind him that his teenaged daughters are the same age as Camille when she was raped. The defense presses Victor to talk about his past with Camille. He says that Camille had a crush on Alexander and was always pursuing him. Camille stands up and starts talking about the teenaged girl she heard laughing in the park just before the attacks, but she doesn't reveal how the laughter reminds her of the daughter she gave up for adoption. Benson accuses Jillian of attacking Camille all over again on the stand while in court. Jillian gives Benson a folder and sheepishly tells her to not open it. Benson does open it and is shocked at what's inside. The next day, Benson uses what was inside the folder to bring a new witness to the court for the defense, Camille's teenaged daughter, Hannah. On the stand Hannah says she's in court because she was asked by the defense to take a DNA test for their case. Hanna's biological mother is proven to be Camille and she points out Victor as her biological father. Victor starts to confess to the gang rape as Alexander urges him to shut up. Victor tells the court that Alexander has been paying off Bill and himself for years and he's raped other women, too. Stabler brings Alexander to SVU and tells him that Bill and Victor are going to prison for perjury. Stabler tells Alexander he might be serving more serious jailtime, now that two more women have come forward claiming he raped them. Camille's charges have been reduced to trespassing and she thanks Benson for all of her help. Afterwards, Camille is introduced to her daughter for the first time and is welcomed with a hug.
