Storyline

A rape victim, Vicki, is brought into the hospital initially claiming she has been attacked multiple times by the same man. Detectives Benson and Stabler are determined to help her, but she lives in such terror that she then denies she has been raped at all and refuses to submit to a rape kit. As Benson looks for a way to help, she is horrified to learn that there are police precincts and evidence labs across the country that never test their rape kits at all. The investigation soon leads her to Los Angeles where she meets Detective Rex Winters, who has information that could finally help Vicki get justice.

"Ghost Wisperer" cries "RAPE"

In another bit of inspired casting, the SVU folks cast former "Ghost Whisperer" star, Jennifer Love Hewitt, as a young woman who claims to have been repeatedly "taken advantage of" by the same guy, a traveling businessman, who may or may not be a serial rapist. Hewitt, an actress who has proved her skills in episodic television, gives a worthy-of-an-Emmy-nomination performance.

Equally as impressive is guest star James Les Gros who plays the possible perpetrator. Judith Light also makes one of her return visits as Judge Donnelly.

This episodes also "hints" at its sister show, "Law & Order: Los Angeles" by introducing that show's Skeet Ulrich as he helps Benson (Mariska Hargitay) investigate the similar rapes that occurred in Los Angeles.
