Warning… Spoilers below!
On Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Season 23 Episode 11, Capt. Benson picked up Noah and missed them horseplaying. However, this wasn’t normal play among kids, the older kid made Noah get into a cage, wear a dog collar, and tried to force him to eat dog food while he film him.
Karma
Meanwhile, a kid, Tino, was playing video games, he chatted with another gamer who wanted to meet him in person. When he left, a man picked him up, claiming he was there on behave of his son. He got Tino to his place, took a selfie with him, fed him lies, then the boy felt uncomfortable and tried to leave but the creepy man stopped him.
SVU spoke with Tino’s father, Seby, and his uncle, Carlos, who left him home alone. They noticed he took his uncle’s laptop and police tracked it down. When they breached the apartment they found Tino gagged and bound to a radiator. The man who took him was gone…
Examining the boy revealed he was drugged and raped. The apartment was used to rent out to anyone who needed it. Dectiveies tracked down the last renter and visited his home. When they entered, they found a lot of blood… then found the creepy man bound to a radiator and he was stabbed multiple times!
That’s What You Get
The creep was Theodore “Teddy” Murtov. Carisi spoke with Benson and they suspected Teddy was attacked in retaliation. Tino identified Teddy as his attacker. Police interviewed the Guzmán family and they all claimed to have an alibi and weren’t involved.
Police found doorbell cam footage nearby and found Carlos had visited Teddy that night. They wondered how Carlos got there before them and even know where he lived. He explained that Tino had taken something from the man’s apartment that led him to the location.
Police asked him what did he do to Teddy. He explained in detail how Teddy marveled at what he had done, claiming Tino wanted it, and he had video. Carlos snapped and stabbed him several times. He even boldly told police, he wished he would have waited until he bleed out. Carisi was worried about the trial as the public’s perception might sympathize with the vigilante uncle…
Bad Touches
At the arrangement, Seby sought the help of an ex-gangster turned community leader, Elvis Baktashi, who got him representation. Carlos plead not guilty and the judge allowed him to bond.
Then they wheeled Teddy in court. He was supposed to plead guilty in a deal and threw a curveball changing his plea to not guilty! Carisi requested no bail and his defense rebutted. Then Seby brazenly asked the judge to give him a few minutes with the defendant, Teddy laughed at him and it provoked him to attack but was thwarted. The judge granted Teddy bail.
In private, Carisi negotiated prison time for Teddy in the presence of his lawyer and the man had smug excuses for every charge. Meanwhile, the prosecution got a visit from Seby, he told them his son would not be taking the stand and he had to protect him.
With Tino out of the picture, they sought to use Carlos’ testimony against Teddy for a plea deal. They asked was the claim of a video true and he said he had the video. Claiming he took Teddy’s phone and never wanted the footage to get out.
Surprisingly, Carlos’ girlfriend brought her son to the police station. She was hysterical at what he told her. She confessed to police that Carlos had touched her son Andre inappropriately. They interviewed the boy and confirmed it.
Never Over It
Suddenly, they got a call that Carlos was on the roof of a highrise and threatened to jump! When Benson and Velasco got to the roof, Carlos was upset and confessed he touched Andre inappropriately and knew the boy would never get beyond the trauma. He knew he wouldn’t because he had been molested and never got over it, then he surrendered.
Carlos told SVU how his teacher molested him in middle school. Benson was empathic about his cycle of abuse. When Carisi meet with Carlos, he informed him that he had to go on the sex offenders registry. He was willing if it avoided the boy from testifying in court.
Later on, Benson learned that Noah was bisexual, he stood up for himself to the older kid and that made him a target. She was proud he knew his truth at such a young age…

Am I the only one burning with rage that we have a 2nd grader defining their sexuality?? Liv should have told him that he couldn’t say or think anything with the word sex in it for the next 5 years. Do we really need to push kids to think they should be defining sexuality at age 8?! That shouldn’t even be a vocabulary word at age 8. Let kids be kids for a while or I’ll need to report it to the SVU. Oh crap! That’s who started my tyraid.
No, you are not the only one. It is an absurd.
I was interested in that final comment. My granddaughters, aged 10 & 11, are worried about not knowing what their sex preference will be. It is something that IS happening, so it might be necessary to analyse. I do agree, though, that a second grader can’t know and express what his choice is
