Randall McKenna is the husband of Jamie Huntington-McKenna, who brutalized her daughter Emily from another relationship.
History[]
Jamie's mother Lois Huntington, the widow of the late Avery Huntington, always insisted Jamie marry rich because of her own family's wealth. After Jamie's trauma from Avery sexually abusing her, Lois sending her to boarding school, and Jamie kicking a pill addiction in rehab, she met a Cuban immigrant named Denny Corea, who had a daughter named Emily with Jamie.
Lois was finally pleased when Jamie met and married Randall, a Wall Street investment banker, who already had a son named Justin who hated Jamie and Emily. The family blended with Randall making sure Jamie had primary custody of Emily due to his contacts, and Jamie and Randall had their own son Michael, who was mute and had learning difficulties.
The entire family was investigated when Emily was found barely conscious in her bed, covered in severe wounds and even showing sexual trauma. She went into coma from brain damage, and when Denny arrived, the investigations flew around. Denny accused Jamie from restricting him from seeing his daughter and Randall of molesting her, while Jamie and Randall used his own drug addiction and lower-class and green card status to make him look like the abuser.
When Randall was questioned at his office, he was appalled at Denny's allegations and scoffed that he was the one to make him, calling him a liar and an unfit father. Denny later confronted Randall in the parking lot at his office, demanding to know what happened to Emily. What resulted was Randall laughing and saying Emily was as good as gone from his home and was permanently staying with the McKennas. Denny snapped and flew into a blind rage, beating Randall within an inch of his life and sending him to the hospital. Denny was soon after arrested, and all the men in the house, including Justin, whose brush was used to sexually assault Emily, were cleared.
By process of elimination, Jamie was revealed to have brutalized Emily. When she was lied to and told Emily woke up, Jamie tried to defend herself saying Emily was crying and saying that Denny wanted to take her back to Cuba. Wanting Emily to impress Randall, Jamie beat her and sexually abused her until she went unconscious, then kissed her goodnight. This was enough for Jamie's arrest. (SVU: "Legacy")
