Bethany Taylor is a rape crisis counselor assigned to provide therapy and consultation for Karen Leighton, the victim of serial rapist Michael Gardner able to testify. Gardner filed a legally-challenging motion to subpoena Taylor's testimony to Leighton despite doctor-patient confidentiality, assuming Taylor "suggested" Leighton to identify Gardner as the rapist.
Knowing it was a sham and refusing to endanger her patients, Taylor refused the subpoena and willingly surrendered to arrest. She was freed when Leighton personally offered her testimony to the judge and it was declared inadmissible as evidence due to it being ethical counseling. Taylor was furious when she received a subpoena for another one of her clients and lost six others, her practice being destroyed by legal deception. (SVU: "Futility")
