Plot[]
Sixteen year-old Avery Capshaw's (guest star Fiona Robert) parents report her kidnapped, and the SVU finds signs of a party turned violent. Her boyfriend, Manny Montero (Juan Castano), is a scholarship student from the Projects, and though his family swears he's on the right track, Amaro (Danny Pino) suspects he's involved with a dangerous gang. Things are further complicated due to the fact that Avery had multiple orgasms during the rape, something she had never had with Manny who was forced to watch the assault, and the three gang members accused of the act use this as their defense that Avery had "wanted it" because she was "coming like a freight train" and that Manny was the one who invited them over. When Manny refuses to talk, the cops are forced to arrest him, but the violence only escalates.
