Evie Barnes is a former college student at Hudson University who worked as a pornography star to pay for her tuition.
History[]
When two fellow students, Daniel Pryor and Matt Cooper, find one of these videos, they invite Evie to a party. They then lure her to a bathroom where she is raped. She cries and runs back to her dorm where her RA, Justin Adams, asks her what is wrong and she tells him about the attack. She is reluctant to press charges but Detective Rollins convinces her to go to the hospital to get checked out. Evie tells them about the video that Cooper and Pryor used as a reference to rape her.
When her other videos are discovered, it causes problems during the trial and the university expels her. After Cooper pleads guilty to the rape, the jury eventually finds Pryor guilty, but the judge overturns the verdict upon a motion from John Buchanan, pending appeal, believing Evie is lying. Evie is so traumatized that she makes a goodbye video describing what happened at the trial, then returns to working as a pornographic actress. Rollins and Carisi travel to New Hampshire, meeting Evie at the studio and trying talk her out of her decision. Evie ignores them, reminding them that she can consent whenever she wishes there and that her old life was gone, proceeding to make another movie. (SVU: "Pornstar's Requiem")
