Benjamin Strepek was a teacher at Manor Hill Academy, a prestigious high school located in the Bronx and a serial rapist.
History[]
Strepek was one of the teachers behind the culture of sexual abuse of young male students at Manor Hill. Accusations were being brought against him, but were accidentally covered up by the Chairman, Brett Forrester.
Continuing on with an impeccable reputation, he was transferred to a charter school in Brooklyn. There, he attempted to rape an eighth-grade boy in a locker room, but was interrupted by the principal, and was fired that day.
Strepek died of natural causes a few years later, making it difficult for A.D.A. Rafael Barba to make a case against Manor Hill when the accusations come to light. However, it was later revealed that he had sexually abused Forrester's son Nathan Forrester, causing Nathan to have his grades slip along with his life. After Forrester learned the truth about his son's abuse, Manor Hill finally acknowledged the truth and apologized to the victims. (SVU: "Lessons Learned")
