Barclay Pallister is a man who was drugged and raped by April Troost and was later accused of rape by Troost herself.

History[]

Barclay met Troost at a bar where Troost spiked his drink and raped him while he was drugged. Troost became pregnant with his baby and told the Special Victims Unit that Barclay had raped and impregnated her, which Barclay denied and was shocked when he discovered that Troost was pregnant with his baby. As a result, his wife left him and his reputation started to fall apart. When Troost staged her own death, he became the prime suspect in her murder.

It soon became clear to the detectives that Troost was a con artist and rapist and that Barclay had committed no crime. It is also revealed that she had been stalking him for a while because he looked like a prime candidate to have a child with and steal money from. He was also shocked to learn that he had been drugged by her when Detective Stabler visited him and informed him.

When Troost was found alive and wouldn't reveal where her baby was, Barclay came to the precinct and begged the SVU squad to find his baby, stating he was owed something for all he endured because of the case. The detectives soon found the baby with Troost's mother Lorraine Dillon and the baby was given to Barclay who forgave them for his experience while very happy to have his child. (SVU: "Design")
