Harold Coyle is a news reporter and a serial rapist.

History

An experienced news reporter, Coyle used his career as an opportunity to rape women he worked with, including Heidi Sorenson. One day, while Heidi and her co-anchor George were interviewing Lieutenant Benson and a rape victim on TV, Heidi gets triggered by George's comforting comments. When he is off the air, Heidi confides in Olivia, telling her that Coyle raped her. Coyle's actions are investigated, and once Coyle finds out, he manipulates several women to turn on Heidi, calling her a slut and a liar and causes her to lose her job. Eventually, the SVU are able to convince several victims of Coyle’s crimes to come forward about their abuse. Eventually, after being caught raping a woman on tape, he is charged with sexual assault and is imprisoned. (SVU: "The Newsroom")
