Stuart Andrews was a member of a local vigilante group who raped multiple women in order to stay close to a fellow vigilante he liked, Leslie Adams.
Background[]
When Stuart met Leslie at a comic book store he worked at, he became infatuated with her and told her that the city was a dangerous place. When she did not believe him, he started raping women and keeping samples of their hair, which in turn caused a lot of panic in the city. Afterwards, he created a vigilante group meant to "stop" the rapes.
Street Revenge[]
After committing five assaults, Stuart, at this point obsessed with Leslie, tells her about the group so she would think of him as a hero. Eventually, he also convinces Leslie to join the group so he could be closer to her. One night, a member of the vigilante group attacks a rapist who was imitating Stuart's rapes. While on patrol with Leslie, Stuart learns that she is in a relationship with a married man, which upsets him so much that he knocks her out from behind with a brick and rapes her. When he is done, he stabs himself with a pair of scissors to make it seem like he was attacked too.
While at the hospital, he is questioned by Detective Amaro, who also reprimands him for being a vigilante. Stuart defends his and Leslie's actions and brags that their group is called "The Justice League". He then leads the other vigilantes in attacking Henry Brazecki, the man Leslie was having an affair with. During the attack, Stuart plants the hair samples in Henry's car to make it seem like he was the rapist. When Amaro and Detective Rollins bring Stuart to the roof he and Leslie were attacked at, they confront him with evidence against him and he confesses to the rapes. He then asks if they told Leslie he was the rapist, and the detectives tell him that they did and that she left the Justice League. They then arrest him for rape and assault. (SVU: "Street Revenge")
