Ray Schenkel was a convicted serial rapist who managed to make parole.

History[]

Ray was previously sentenced to 20 years for the rape of a 14-year-old girl and was suspected of several other rapes at the time. In regard to raping the 14-year-old and seven other girls with his cousin Carl, Ray managed to pin the others on Carl alone. He managed to make parole, under the watchful eye of the officer who arrested him in 1985, William Dorsey.

Ray was suspected of raping a girl named Kelly Browning on the bus back to New York City. Detective Elliot Stabler personally heard he was a recently paroled rapist from Dorsey and went undercover to prove it. He got a van and tried to see if he would rape again. Schenkel indeed kidnapped a girl and told Stabler to rape her. After Stabler set her free, Ray held him at gunpoint until they were in a standoff. Stabler managed to subdue Ray by choking him unconscious with Stabler's own handcuffs.

Ray was re-imprisoned for 25 years on kidnapping and attempted rape, while it is never revealed if he raped Kelly. (SVU: "Demons")
