Robert Alan "Rob" Miller was a lawyer who later became a rapist, murderer, and stalker.
Background[]
According to himself, Miller's father owned a shop when he was a child. His father was often the target of loan sharks, who once took his sister into the backroom and presumably raped her. Miller grew up to become a famous lawyer, eventually ranking in the top ten attorneys of New York City. Miller also established a very fierce reputation, with several people fearing the prospect of going against him due to his connections.
On SVU[]
Miller raped defense attorney Nikki Staines at a police charity ball in March 2019. He was imprisoned for this, but he vowed that he would be released, claiming that he was innocent of the charges against him. (SVU: "Blackout")
He was released on bail in May 2019, and the charges against him were later dropped by the federal police, frustrating Lieutenant Benson and ADA Stone, who swore to keep investigating. Miller later met Benson and Noah at a café in an attempt to intimidate Benson. (SVU: "Assumptions")
Miller eventually murdered a teenage girl named Lindsay Parker and dumped her naked body in the Hudson River. This came to the attention of the Special Victims Unit, who immediately knew it was Miller. Throughout the investigation, the detectives learned that he killed Lindsay because he was her parents' attorney and figured she saw him at a sex party he attended. As the detectives investigated, he started stalking and threatening Benson, Noah, and Staines, hoping to goad Benson into dropping the case. Miller's reputation also caused many potential witnesses to back off. Despite the SVU having only circumstantial evidence, Stone came up with a strategy to trap Miller, who was eventually found guilty of murder and imprisoned. (SVU: "End Game")
