Goofs

The French police officer uniform is actually fake, as there is no such thing as "Sécurité Publique" in France. The actual police department in charge would have been Police Nationale. The shoulder patch is smaller and has a cock/rooster on it.

User Reviews

Globetrotting, Jetsetting rapist

This SVU story contains one of those villains you absolutely love to hate. That would be in this case Colm Feore, a multi-billionaire with a private jet who actually imports young girls to have sex with him. The story opens in fact with a telecommunication video chat with Benson and Stabler and the French police questioning a young girl who said she had been flown to New York for a 'modeling' assignment and wound up being Feore's birthday present. He likes them young, I mean just entering puberty.

This guy has some powerful connections so the squad has to tread lightly here. The key here to cracking this case is Richard Belzer. Detective Munch has one unique investigating technique enabling the squad to come up with multiple victims.

I read here that one the young victims here was played by a young woman named Isabella Grasso who died in a car crash after shooting episode. This part turned out to be the only role of her career as she was 17 when she was killed. How incredibly sad, my heart goes out to her I imagine still mourning family.

In the end only a certain amount of justice prevails for this member of the rich and powerful.
