Maya Bell is a defense attorney who was sexually assaulted by Judge Charles Gallagher.
History[]
When Bell was a student at Hudson University, Gallagher threatened her and claimed that if she didn't have perform sexual acts on him then he would make sure that she doesn't have a career in law. Bell testified everything that Gallagher did to her when she was a student. His defense attorney, Rita Calhoun, argued that Gallagher didn't physically force her to perform sexual acts which means that it wasn't rape. (SVU: "The Long Arm Of The Witness")
Bell crossed paths with the Special Victims Unit again to defend Ruben Ortiz, Congressman Justin Howard's chief of staff, after he was accused of rape and sex trafficking. (SVU: "Wolves In Sheep's Clothing")
