Not my favorite Law And Order episode because I think this one was one big reach. What starts out as car accident and the driver leaving the scene with a dead woman in the car turns into first a rape and then sexual harassment with rape as the conclusion. In fact the DA's office goes looking for a victim. No way in real life.
The female victim found dead worked on the campaign of a city councilman and the Medical Examiner finds evidence of rape before the accident. It traces back to the councilman Anthony Heald who truth be told is one arrogant piece of crap. Even before he went into politics, back when he was a senior partner at a white shoe law firm.
So the DA's office looks for living rape survivors and finds Regina Taylor who is modeled on the real life Anita Hill. She gave in to Heald's casting couch, but is real reluctant to talk about it. With what she has to give up who would blame her. I still can't believe she gave in.
In real life the DA might have made note and kept an eye on Heald. You know sooner or later a recent and cooperative victim would have surfaced.
