Kent Webster is a high-ranking legal consultant with a wife named Gillian afflicted with cancer and a daughter named Hannah.
History[]
Kent and his wife named Gillian had a daughter. He was very close to them but Gillian became afflicted with cancer, cutting their sex life. As a result, he had an affair with photojournalist and yoga teacher Dia Nobile, and Dia became obsessed with the family when Kent called it off. Dia, unstable in her personality, also lost her baby Tessa when Kent's father and Wendell Feeny manipulated her to give her baby to a couple wanting a baby from a surrogate mother, Braydon and Josie Leddy, just to cover the affair up. Dia began stalking the Websters to have Kent to herself and get Tessa back, even befriending Hannah after watching her routine enough. When Dia never got Tessa back for a year, she kidnapped Tessa from a park while Braydon and Josie were out with her. Dia was tracked and arrested, maniacal from the first second but conclusively ascertaining Tessa to be her baby.
Tests revealed that to be true, and Kent was tracked, shocking his entire family who saw the video of him and Dia together. Dia, despite her psychotic breaks in court, was released on bail, and Hannah confronted her about the affair and stalking the family. Dia showed a sex tape of her and Kent to confirm the affair, which Hannah didn't originally believe in its levels of consent. When Hannah faced the truth, she took it out on Dia by killing her with one of Dia's healing crystals. Kent had gone to Dia's home to have her back off but found her dead before SVU came in. He told them he found her this way, but he was taken in on suspicion though was cleared of murder. With the family destroyed, Gillian, in her devastation, took the fall for the murder and was falsely convicted, knowing her illness will kill her soon and not wanting her daughter's future taken away.
Kent was devastated to watch in court, as Gillian and Hannah disowned him for his actions before Gillian was taken to jail. He sadly walked off, having lost both his status and family.
Kent was later arrested and imprisoned for his fraudulent deception and abuse, and the reckless endangerment that led to kidnapping and murder. (SVU: "Vanity's Bonfire")
