Maddy McCorkle was a little girl who was raped by a pedophile named Mr. Buggesi.
History[]
Maddy's mother often had to work long hours, so she was watched by a man named Buggesi who lived in a apartment building not too far from them. However, Buggesi was really a pedophile who threatened her with a gun to allow him to molest her or he would shoot her family.
Following a shooting at Maddy's school that left a boy dead and two others injured, Maddy believed Buggesi was responsible and did not want to go home, having an episode as the faculty tried to move her. She later told Dr. Huang what Buggesi said and what he had her do, mispronouncing his name as "Mr. Bug Eyes" in the process. Huang then replayed this to Captain Cragen and Detective Stabler. Maddy's mother properly deduced his identity and was horrified to hear this news, before realizing that it explained why he was eager to babysit her.
When Maddy's uncle Patrick was notified by her mother, he savagely attacked Buggesi in revenge until Cragen and Stabler broke it up. According to Patrick, Buggesi had confessed to the crime and apologized for being made that way. Both Mr. Buggesi and Patrick were arrested, and when the detectives searched Buggesi's apartment, they only found a toy rifle that closely resembled a real firearm in the eyes of a child.
Thanks to Maddy identifying him, Buggesi was arrested after it was revealed he had warrants for child sexual abuse in Florida. As a result, he was extradited once he recovered from his injuries. (SVU: "Raw")
