Stephen Lomatin is a young auxiliary police officer, who is studying and training to get into the Police Academy. He also works as a part-time mall security guard.
History[]
Lomatin became heavily involved in the Lewis Hodda case after Hector Rodriguez disappeared. Afterwards, he started researching and found similar disappearances in the Morningside Heights neighborhood, concluding that the kidnapper had an M.O. of starting arson fires to get rid of bodies. When Wyatt Morris was kidnapped, he helped SVU arrest Hodda and bring Wyatt home. (SVU: "Manhattan Vigil")
Lomatin was brought on by the defense during Hodda's trial. Despite being crucial to the tracking and arrest of Hodda, as well as Wyatt's rescue, he was accused by Hodda's counsel, Lisa Hassler, of being the real kidnapper and killer. This led to a hung jury and a declared mistrial, with Hodda being remanded pending retrial. (SVU: "Depravity Standard")
