Andrew Croft (alias George Kazinski) was a pedophile who had been the prime suspect in the rapes of several boys, as well as a murderer along with accomplice and colleague Craig Prince. Croft was eventually murdered by his foster son Michael Goren, who was also one of his victims.
History[]
By 1991, Croft used several aliases and raped several young boys, being a registered sex offender across the U.S. and Canada. He eventually became a weapons designer for Operation Desert Storm. Croft's past and records were concealed by Craig Prince, Croft's boss and a fellow pedophile. The two became responsible for raping and murdering a boy in Belgium and, with the influence of the company, never being charged. While in Belgium, Croft adopted a boy named Michael Goren, who he had taken an interest in for a while because he was the son of a friend that had died in a car accident. After the adoption, Goren was repeatedly raped by Croft since he was eight. Soon Croft invited Prince to join in the abuse with the latter being described as worse.
When Croft and Goren moved to New York, Goren attempted to make a better life for himself, despite his situation. By the time Goren was sixteen, Croft tried to rape Goren's friend Danny Burrell in front of a stunned Goren, who fought him off; this led to the two's friendship ending immediately. This act was one of Goren's breaking points before it was revealed that the neighborhood they moved to was where Prince lived, causing Goren to be repeatedly raped by Prince with Croft's blessing. With this, Goren finally snapped and killed Croft, by shooting him in the head and setting his crotch on fire at the beach while leaving his body to be found by cops.
Goren was found out and put on trial, pleaded several times by Alexandra Cabot to take a plea deal to admit to the sexual abuse. After speaking to Burrell, Cabot finally incentivized Goren on the grand jury stand and he revealed not only Croft's abuse, but Prince's crimes as well. Goren was given the plea of a reduced charge and sentence, while Prince was arrested in front of the entire office during a meeting. (SVU: "Wrong Is Right")
