Ronnie Samuels is a serial statutory rapist and murderer who targeted deaf girls.

History[]

Samuels committed several rapes where he targeted young deaf girls who went to a specific deaf school. However, the wrong man, Pup Peters, was arrested and convicted of those rapes. When the case reopened and Samuels committed another rape, Samuels' rapes were investigated by Manhattan and Bronx Special Victims Unit. While investigating the case and having Lieutenant Kate Dixon interview the deaf rape victims, Detective Terry Bruno called Captain Olivia Benson and told her that he found a dead body with the same M.O. as the rapes that were committed by Samuels.

Eventually, after Benson and Bruno spoke with Samuels' mother, Samuels was found where he held a gun towards Benson and Bruno. Samuels then dropped the gun and was taken into custody. During interrogation, Samuels confessed to the rapes and to the murder and U.S. Attorney Anya Avital made him write down his confession. Samuels was then arrested and was imprisoned for his crimes.
