Mathis Brooks is a gay singer who lied about being raped by serial rapist Jeffrey Moran.
When the Special Victims Unit grew suspicious of his story, Brooks went to the media, claiming the police did not believe him. His lie was eventually uncovered, which destroyed his reputation. Detective Tutuola believed Mathis truly experienced a traumatic event in his past and encouraged him to find a way to move past it. (SVU: "Down Low In Hell's Kitchen")
