In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.
Detectives Benson, Stabler, Fin and Munch face serial killers, self-proclaimed psychics and cult leaders as they investigate crime in New York City.
The unit's gut-wrenching cases include a schoolyard shooting of a child, a shady dating service and a shocking revelation regarding Tutuola's son.
Guest stars, including Cynthia Nixon, Robin Williams, Method Man, Jared Harris and Melissa Joan Hart, are season highlights.
Stabler confronts his own demons when his daughter is caught with drugs, and Benson follows connections between an abused child and an attack on a woman.
A new ADA joins the team, a crime scene photo of a murdered teen goes viral and Stabler tries to prove Benson did not murder a biker.
Season 13 dealt with the departure of Detective Elliot Stabler from the Special Victims Unit after a shooting in the squad room.
