Gwendolyn Gates is a former anchor at the same studio as serial rapist Harold Coyle, Gwendolyn leaving after also being raped by Coyle. She saw budding anchor Margery Evans lauding Coyle on air, encouraging Gwendolyn to come forward to support fired accuser Heidi Sorenson.
In addition, four more women joined Gwendolyn, resulting in a trial. When the rest of the crew was revealed to have known, and Evans a pressured victim and conspirator, Evans caught Coyle on record trying to rape her again when she demanded a tape of the rape back. From this, Coyle was cornered into taking a plea of a year in prison. (SVU: "The Newsroom")
