00:05In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous.
00:11In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are
00:15members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit.
00:19These are their stories.
00:26Hello?
00:30Anybody up yet?
00:31I got the goods.
00:33I got bagels and cream cheese and...
00:37...mox.
00:51Oh my... oh my... oh my god, Nora!
00:55Nora!
00:56Nora!
00:56Oh my god, are you okay?
00:58Nora!
00:58Somebody help!
01:00Calm down here, guys!
01:01What's happening?
01:02What's wrong?
01:03Call 911!
01:05Honey, it's okay.
01:06I'm here.
01:07I'm here.
01:07Don't move, don't move, don't move.
01:09Don't move.
01:13So when do you think you'll be cleared?
01:15Probably next month.
01:17Technically, we'll see if the DEA actually wants me or if I want them.
01:21Well, find out if they have any openings.
01:24You don't have to go back, you know?
01:27Well, if you're suggesting that I should retire, I'm going to puncture your other lungs.
01:31I'm not saying anything.
01:32I'm just giving you your own advice.
01:33You got to go where you're doing the most good.
01:36Is this for you still that place for you?
01:43You know, Joe, for the first time in my life, I don't know anymore.
01:51Did the union lawyer file an appeal?
01:53Yeah, I did a couple of days ago, so I haven't heard much.
01:58I'll follow up.
02:01Eventually, look, Tynan is strategic.
02:06She wouldn't have suspended me if she didn't think that she could see it through.
02:11Thinking and knowing are two very different things,
02:14especially when you're going up against Captain Olivia Benson.
02:19But first, you have to get back in the fight.
02:27It's not the worst pep talk.
02:28I'll try.
02:32Rollins.
02:35So, you're just back?
02:36Yeah.
02:37Reassigned SVU as of this morning.
02:39I mean, I'm thrilled, but it's weird, right?
02:42No explanation?
02:43Well, I've got to say, Griff had something to do with it.
02:46Why do I feel like there's going to be a catch?
02:48Cimino.
02:50Captain.
02:52Fran found Nora Pontius in here at 7.35 a.m.
02:55Cracked her head here on the counter.
02:57She reported pain that was consistent with sexual assault.
03:00The victim's stable?
03:01With paramedics.
03:03We'll take her to the hospital for her rape kit and some stitches.
03:05She also reported a ring stolen.
03:07All right. That's good work, Cimino.
03:09How many people are in the house?
03:10Five.
03:11One with the victim.
03:12And we're holding everyone upstairs while we locked down the crime scene.
03:14Everybody was here overnight.
03:16Yeah.
03:17All the sleep would happen.
03:18A lot going on in this place.
03:20Welcome back, Curry.
03:21Thanks. You too.
03:22Yeah, not how I wanted it, but yeah.
03:25Tynan made him acting SVU supervisor.
03:27Oh.
03:28Wow.
03:29Not my idea of a good time, but here we are.
03:32Any sign of force entry?
03:34Well, there's bars on all these kitchen windows.
03:36I've checked.
03:37They're all locked from the inside.
03:39Everybody in the house stays on the radar until we have a reason to take them off.
03:43Did the victim get a look at the attacker?
03:45She talked to officers outside and she can't remember anything.
03:48She's pretty upset.
03:49Okay, well, let's talk to her.
03:51See if you can get her to open up a bit.
03:53Curry and I will talk to the hangover crew.
03:56Mm-hmm.
03:58Supervisor Tutuola looks good on him.
03:59Mm-hmm.
04:00Just don't tell him that.
04:03Nora, can you tell me what happened to you last night?
04:06That we were all drinking.
04:08We're a group of friends from college.
04:11It was our 20-year college reunion in Columbia.
04:14It was a special occasion, we had a lot of alcohol.
04:17More than usual.
04:19I was so drunk, so tired.
04:22I just passed out on my bed.
04:24Is that the last thing you remember?
04:26Yes.
04:27Until I woke up to Angela screaming.
04:31Blood everywhere.
04:33Pain between my legs.
04:37No idea how I got there.
04:40I know.
04:41They told me that you're missing a ring.
04:44My grandma's gold with a little diamond and it's not worth much.
04:49When was the last time you saw it?
04:50I was wearing it last night.
04:54When I woke up to the kitchen, it was gone.
04:56Yeah.
04:59Hello.
05:00I'm Sergeant Tutuola.
05:01That's for you.
05:02This is Captain Curry.
05:04You all were here last night when Nora was attacked?
05:07Yeah.
05:08Asleep.
05:09Until I woke up to Angela screaming.
05:11We bolted out of bed.
05:13I did at least.
05:14They think you are still half drunk.
05:15You're right behind yourself.
05:17Same here.
05:18Ran into Preston in the hallway.
05:19Manning downstairs to see what was going on.
05:21Everyone was asleep all night.
05:23No one got up.
05:24No runs to the bathroom.
05:26Nothing.
05:26My head hit the pillow.
05:27I was out.
05:28Preston Winthrop.
05:29This is your place?
05:30Yeah, kind of.
05:31It's a family home, so.
05:33You own the house, Preston.
05:34It's yours.
05:35It feels weird, but yeah.
05:37What kind of security do you have here?
05:39I'm not sure really.
05:41I call a guy when it won't stop beeping.
05:43Did you want to see?
05:45Yeah.
05:51Okay, so there was a party last night.
05:53Did anybody get too messed up?
05:55You know, act out of character?
05:56No.
05:58Sick.
05:59Best night in years.
06:00Maybe ever.
06:03You seem to disagree, Sophie.
06:06No.
06:07I mean, it was fine.
06:09It wasn't a party.
06:10Just seven people.
06:11Some who still drink like they're in a frat.
06:14Seven?
06:14Seven.
06:14They told me it was Ryan, Preston, Adam, Sophie, Angela, and Nora.
06:19That's six.
06:20You're missing Josh.
06:21Who's Josh?
06:22One of us.
06:23Old college crew.
06:25He went to bed with the rest of us.
06:27Gone when we woke up, though.
06:36What's up?
06:38Bleach.
06:38This patch right here is spotless.
06:40And then look at this.
06:43Let me see that.
06:44It's a shoe.
06:45Yeah, at least part of one.
06:47So somebody messed with this crime scene.
06:49Hey.
06:50So there are no cameras on the security system.
06:53But sensors document whenever windows or doors open.
06:57Last night, nothing opened after 10 PM.
06:59Today, the front door opened three times.
07:015 AM.
07:025 AM?
07:02I bet that's Josh.
07:03The hell's Josh.
07:04Another one of these clowns.
07:06Left before everybody woke up.
07:07There's a suspect.
07:08But not our only suspect.
07:10Because Angela's bagel run accounts for the other two times that the door opened.
07:14No one else came or left this house.
07:17Nora's attacker didn't break in.
07:20One of her friends.
07:23Okay, listen up, everybody.
07:25Shoes off, hand them over.
07:27Okay?
07:28Not just the shoes on your feet.
07:29I want every shoe in this house.
07:31Well, I have like 50 pairs.
07:32I only have two.
07:34How are we supposed to go out without shoes?
07:35You're not.
07:36Clear your schedule.
07:37Order in.
07:38No one leaves this house.
08:05Well, you're not.
08:09How are you Lehrers?
08:11Let's not be able to go, hey.
08:13Do it, boy.
08:15When I serve you now.
08:20This can't be revealed I love you, too.
08:22I love you, too.
08:24My dad will speak.
08:27Padgets, trust me, prosecutions, flip it.
08:29Try gramarembovil.
08:31Can I see a stigma coming even more?
08:32Does anyone welcome
08:33Testable DNA on Nora's Rape Kit
08:35Mike Lee from one suspect you got that already just the initial report I waited
08:40at the hospital drove Nora's kit to the medical examiner and I begged okay we
08:45got to move on this fast the suspects agreed to stay in the house but you know
08:48that won't last Adam Ryan Preston and Josh track him down I have his addresses
08:54his home and his work huh hi hello you're back well for now so the
09:01suspension has stayed hearing is going to be in about 30 days and the union
09:05lawyer thinks there's a good chance that this will go away is that a national
09:10holiday that I don't know about well Bruno is still out on trial testimony and
09:14Griff is at a firearms training refresh okay acting supervisor this is your
09:19meeting actually the view from here is kind of nice so you take the lead on
09:26this fan and I I'll be your right hand okay CSU got a partial shoe print from
09:32the crime scene they're comparing against the other shoes we collected but we
09:36still have to put Josh in the mix the warrant for his place just came in okay
09:40you go to his apartment I'll see if he's still at work Nora's still at the
09:44hospital break the news to her about our suspects for relationship with these
09:48guys might give us something on it boss Nora I'm I'm captain Benson from the
09:57special victims unit I was hoping we could talk a little bit I could ask you a few
10:01questions sure so I understand that you met this crew in college so great it's so
10:12great that you're all still friends yeah we were all in the same freshman dorm they
10:17broke us into groups for stupid little icebreakers oh my group just ended up
10:23being one of the best parts of my life for the past 20 years so Nora my my team
10:29and I have been trying to piece together you know what happened to you and and
10:34what we found is it's it's unlikely that anybody broke into the house during the
10:43time frame of your attack but but that that doesn't make any sense is it possible that
10:52maybe it was one of the men in the house that did this to you no no it's not possible
11:00I'm sorry Nora
11:04so how about um we start with you telling me about your day yesterday oh I went to Pilates with
11:16Sophie
11:16and Angela um when we got back Preston had ordered in brunch anything stick out about brunch any strange
11:26interactions um Adam told me about his new promotion I don't I don't really understand his job in big
11:34tech then we went to a reunion event and Ryan and I chatted about his new baby it's like a
11:42whole suburban
11:43dad now we're really close it's easy to talk to each other oh Preston cornered me at one point
11:49talking about his new found life goal opening a bar and what about what about Josh oh yeah um Josh
12:01and I
12:01talked a lot at dinner I just forgot and what'd you talk about um my work yeah Josh is he'd
12:11be a little
12:11harsh we sort of fought Josh Ortega yeah Sergeant Tucciola asked for you I need you to account for
12:29your whereabouts between 2 and 5 a.m. this morning why are you asking me just answer the questions and
12:34make it easy I I don't know I was asleep I mean look I I was partying with some friends
12:40uh we had
12:41too much to drink I passed out on my friend Preston's couch uh set my alarm for five uh went
12:48home showered
12:49and came here where's that couch um it's downstairs towards the front of the house were you wearing those
12:57shoes yeah I'm a minimalist you know no one needs more than four pairs well I'm gonna need you to
13:03take those off I got the other three pair from your apartment you got a warrant what do you think
13:10I don't know what to think you haven't told me anything of substance and you haven't even asked
13:15me what this is all about Nora Pontius was sexually assaulted last night what whoa wait hold on I would
13:27never hurt Nora we're friends yeah you have to do better trying to convince me considering I know you
13:33and her had a fight last night what who told you that that's not important uh very important you're
13:39accusing me of something horrible so it's one of my friends apparently you know whoever told you about
13:46some irrelevant argument between me and Nora is probably your guy deflecting pointing fingers okay
13:53you're me you're looking at this house would you bet on take your pick man look Adam doesn't understand
14:00the word no Ryan's like in love with Nora and Preston's an I don't know unpredictable drug addict
14:07if anyone assaulted Nora in that house it is Preston it is Ryan or it is Adam period
14:19you already took our shoes none of the shoes match the prints from the crime scene which means
14:24someone here is lying to us you look nervous there Preston yeah I'm overwhelmed but this whole situation
14:30everybody at my house friends stay at your place a lot it's the first time Nora was the one who
14:36pushed
14:36for it she wanted us all together my house just made sense look but I didn't hurt Nora we're friends
14:42I get it you're all friends yeah excuse me yes hi you please do not touch that that shouldn't be
14:48touched you know I love these old houses it's a bunch of small spaces we don't have use for anymore
14:54right like servants quarters and dumb waiters you know open up your little secret room or am I
15:04finding a sledgehammer whoa a lot going on in here Preston you should know the BDSM community is all
15:25about consent but these are all prescribed I just didn't want everyone to see all the stuff it takes
15:34to make me feel normal
15:49I didn't even know that I stepped in blood until not until you asked me for the shoes look we
15:57were
15:57just having a good time what's having a good time cocaine how much cocaine did you do last night
16:07a little it's just to be a good host I Ryan is a new dad he said he wanted to
16:15party like the old
16:16days and did he yeah he he did enough he couldn't blink well I was all gas no brakes
16:26and we all drank too much and yeah did some cocaine but that was just a few lines each nothing
16:35crazy even Preston yeah they're concerning he's supposed to be in recovery nobody tried to stop him
16:43no it's complicated Preston gets upset if people told him what to do
16:48hmm plan on getting lucky this weekend with my wife Liz child care fell through last minute she
16:55doesn't like birth control and I'm not ready to be a dad again right I'm serious I didn't want to
17:02come without Liz she and Nora conspired to get me here are your wife and Nora close they are yeah
17:08Liz
17:09isn't the jealous type which is lucky because Nora and I it's just always been an easy friendship
17:14ever see yourself as more than friends no just friends good friends well you know I'm lying to me not
17:23a
17:23great idea Ryan I had a crush on Nora for like a week when we first met I don't feel
17:35that way about it
17:36because Josh's perspective is a little different he says you are in love with Nora well he would say
17:44he would mm-hmm I thought you all were supposed to be good friends honestly I don't even think Josh
17:49has any real friends but if he does they're not women what about Angela and Nora if there are women
17:55Josh is into sexually who act how Josh thinks they should and then there's all other women who he
18:01doesn't respect or value and what category is Nora I'm not sure but I definitely know what Josh thinks
18:06about Angela why is that Josh blamed Angela for her own assault back in college you should talk to
18:12Angela about it actually talk to Adam too it's their story don't mind that is ancient history okay
18:22but when you heard about what happened with Nora I mean did a part of you think that maybe Adam
18:26could
18:26have no no I have I have moved on I have completely moved on I'm over it it's so long
18:33ago I understand
18:34but I'd still like to hear what happened um okay it was um the middle of freshman year and um
18:42I hooked
18:43up with Adam you know I was immature you know and he had a lot more experience than I did
18:49and I I knew
18:53how far I wanted to go neither of us had much experience Angela said she didn't want to have sex
18:58unless she was in a relationship but she was different once we were hooking up different now
19:04I asked her if she still didn't want to have sex and she she just unbuttoned her pants
19:10what was I supposed to think I said no a million times he forgot every 10 seconds eventually I got
19:16tired
19:16and I stopped trying you know it took months for me to admit that he had um crossed a line
19:24but I told Nora and Nora told Ryan and he stood by both of us she's saying she's making all
19:30this up
19:31I'm saying Angela made a decision and then afterwards she wished that she hadn't I've heard that one
19:38before I'm sure I did something stupid that night just not like sexual assault
19:46my wife can vouch for me we were together in bed the whole night they were sloppy reminiscing
19:54the same 20 stories over and over so I left around midnight what time did Adam come to bed a
20:02few
20:02hours later he was loud I was trying to sleep and successfully well he said that he was next to
20:08you the rest of the night that sure yes I don't get the feeling that you're having the best time
20:18here
20:18Sophie it's not my reunion I went to Stanford long way to travel for a school you didn't attend to
20:23spend time
20:24with people you don't really seem to like unless you flew all the way from San Francisco to New York
20:29just to keep an eye on your husband no point Adam does whatever he wants whenever he wants have you
20:36ever pushed your boundaries make you do something you didn't want to do no because we know about his
20:42history we know about what happened with Angela Angela's an unreliable narrator okay she made Adam feel
20:48like he was a monster a monster did you see him that way I'm married to him okay well what
20:56about um
20:57what about Nora she a storyteller Adam did not attack Nora what do you think of Nora Nora's a friend
21:13she's like family she's
21:18she's godmother to one of my kids
21:27what's going on Sophie
21:35I was awake when Adam got into bed
21:41I was also awake when he left 10 minutes later I guess he thought I was asleep by then
21:53you can't be serious no you don't you don't need to cover me this is not this is crazy go
21:56guys guys guys
21:57press it come on say something come on you have to know I didn't go so so what did you
22:04tell them
22:26I didn't hurt Nora and you didn't hurt Angela either she wouldn't say that
22:33and neither would Nora maybe not right now but that's what evidence is for so there's DNA in Nora's
22:41rape kit and I'm betting that yours is going to be a match I'm guessing that you think so too
22:49so Adam you have two options you can consent to a swab or we can wait for a court order
22:56is your choice
22:58to the swab to the swab great wait wait wait please stop
23:05this is just god this is so out of control I don't all right you're not going to believe me
23:12it's just
23:12but I have to say something okay Nora and I we slept together last night
23:21wow while your wife was in the house yeah I know but you have to believe it was consensual but
23:32I snuck into Nora's room when everyone went to sleep and I mean we we haven't had a chance to
23:40talk
23:40about it and you're betting that she doesn't remember no no no I like it I think she remembers I
23:47I hope she remembers but it's been a long time coming and we both knew exactly what we're doing
23:56just talk please talk talk to Nora ask her please okay
24:10oh my god this is gonna ruin our lives
24:13it's gonna ruin our marriages
24:18Sophie's my best friend
24:21our kids love each other so much
24:28what we did was wrong I know that but I just don't I don't get why he told you he
24:34promised
24:34I think he broke your promise because he was going to be charged with sexual assault
24:40Adam didn't assault me okay
24:50sorry
24:53I'm just really embarrassed
24:57you guys probably think I'm a train wreck
24:59we're not here to judge you we're here to get justice for you
25:04but the only way that we can do that is if you tell us the truth Nora all of it
25:12so do you remember Adam leaving your room last night
25:16yeah
25:18I guess like 3 a.m.
25:21mm-hmm 3
25:22okay then what
25:24I um
25:25I got the spins
25:27and um
25:28I know I
25:29I wanted water from the kitchen
25:31I don't know if I
25:32made it
25:34I
25:36that's all I remember
25:37because your rape kit shows internal injuries and that could be from your assault or it could also be from
25:44your encounter with Adam
25:47especially if it was it was rough or
25:50oh my god no
25:51no no no no no nothing like that we were
25:54we were really quiet
25:59gentle
26:02and Nora
26:03even if we can clear Adam
26:06right there are three other men
26:08in that house
26:12is there anything you can tell us
26:19I keep thinking over everything that was
26:25I've known these people for 20 years
26:29they're uncles to my kids
26:35and one night and now I feel like I don't know any of them

29:52an opportunity for you
29:53to tell us the truth
29:56about what
29:56Nora's ring dumbass
29:58I don't know what you're talking about
30:00keep it as some kind of sick trophy
30:01again
30:03don't know anything about that
30:04I'm gonna need you to stand over here
30:05it's gonna take her a minute
30:06to search this place
30:08I'm gonna start right here
30:10this is your bag yeah
30:12yep
30:12nothing sharp in here right
30:14nope
30:17what do you got stuff down in there
30:19nothing
30:21doesn't look like nothing
30:31okay
30:33that's not mine
30:35that's
30:38you can't prove that I did this
30:40because I didn't
30:41is that a dare
30:42no it's a fact
30:43so either this is a mistake
30:44or somebody's setting me up
30:46then clear things up for me
30:48start with the ring
30:49I
30:49don't
30:51lie
30:53we're past that
30:54so where is Nora's ring
30:56it's at my work
30:58inside the mouth of a porcupine
31:01look
31:02look I was gonna pawn it
31:04and then I found out
31:05what about what happened to Nora
31:05but I did not take it as some like creepy trophy
31:08yeah I don't believe you
31:09well you should because Nora owes me money
31:11oh
31:12no that's not what
31:14okay look
31:15three years ago she told me she was starting her own business
31:18okay she needed a way to like get out of her marriage
31:20so I gave her $2,000
31:22I didn't know that her business was selling essential oils
31:25so instead of paying me back
31:27I've been watching her sink any cash she does have
31:29into a scam on Instagram every day
31:31it's infuriating
31:32so you and Nora fought about that
31:33the day she was assaulted
31:34it wasn't a fight
31:35it was a reality check
31:37look I told Nora
31:38if she wants to pay me back
31:39she needs to get a real job
31:41nice approach
31:42so I'm direct
31:44yeah I tell the truth
31:45look that is why you have to believe me
31:47I did not hurt Nora
31:49no you just steal from her
31:50oh my god she left the ring on the bathroom sink
31:54probably would have gone down the drain anyway
31:55so yeah I took it
31:57I just
31:59I didn't mention it to you because
32:02I knew it would look bad
32:03it does
32:04and so does the bloody shirt
32:06oh my god that is not mine
32:08it's small it would be like a crop top on me

36:09I mean wow
36:11especially after all these years
36:12well less than the last few years
36:14you know
36:15she's probably going to see a real therapist
36:17finally
36:18but before this weekend
36:19she was at it again
36:21texting
36:22saying she missed me
36:23the relationship sounds like a lot
36:24sounds like it's very
36:26demanding
36:28well
36:29it's a toll
36:30I'm willing to pay
36:30why?
36:33is it because
36:34you think
36:35she owes you something
36:36in return?
36:38hey
36:40I see what you're doing
36:42what?
36:44you completely ignored
36:45the nuance
36:46of my very complicated situation
36:47alright
36:47sorry
36:48okay
36:48hold on
36:49let's start again
36:50I'm sorry
36:51what did
36:51I missed something
36:52I
36:53what did I misunderstand?
36:54tell me
36:55context
36:56Nora and I have a long shared history
36:58you can't understand it
36:59in only a few days
37:00Ryan
37:00the only thing that I need to understand
37:02is
37:04what happened
37:04between the hours of 3 a.m. and 5 a.m.
37:10did
37:11did Nora ask you to have sex with her?
37:14I won't be saying anything like that out loud
37:16Catherine Benson
37:19okay
37:20so Ryan
37:21I'm gonna
37:22I'm gonna be straight with you
37:26I think that the reason
37:27that Nora
37:28sort of pulled away
37:29from you
37:31has something to do with Adam
37:35Nora and Adam
37:38had sex last night
37:40at Preston's house
37:44nice try
37:45no they didn't
37:46yes they did
37:47Sophie was there
37:48mm-hmm
37:49and from what I hear
37:50she wasn't too happy
38:02Adam
38:05Adam
38:06really
38:11he's always skated by on his looks
38:15because he has nothing better to offer
38:19I mean what advice could I
38:20Adam offer
38:21Nora
38:22tell me
38:22tell her what football game to bet on
38:25you feel betrayed by her
38:27anyone would be
38:32oh Jesus Christ man
38:34all those
38:34all those all those vapid books I read over the years
38:39and all those phone calls
38:40all those phone calls that we
38:44spent hours talking
38:46we spent hours talking
38:51no one used me
38:58she told me
38:59she told me
39:00she wanted me
39:04day after day
39:06for years
39:06one way or another
39:07I know she did
39:11and then she had the audacity
39:17she got all upset
39:19when she actually got what she's been pretending to want
39:34why do you get it now
39:37how unfair it is
39:39all my effort
39:40for sloppy seconds
39:44Ryan I don't know
39:45I'm not really seeing
39:47you know
39:47good guy
39:48here
39:49what I'm seeing is
39:54is a delusional guy
39:56who thinks that Nora
39:58finally wanted to be with him
40:00so he brought condoms
40:02not for your wife
40:04you made your move
40:06on Nora
40:07and she rejected you
40:10she pushed you away
40:13and she hit her head
40:16and your ego got hurt
40:19so you raped her
40:21and then you left her on the cold floor
40:24you put your shirt in Josh's backpack
40:28to get it out of the house
40:30and the condom
40:32you flushed it down the toilet
40:40am I getting the nuance now
