Ted Carthage was a philanthropist and the prime suspect in the rape and murder of Monica Phelps and the murder of her longtime friend Gina Arroyo.
History[]
Before killing Monica and Gina, Carthage was also a suspect in several rapes of underage girls, and had paid his victims to have sex with him under the facade of his charity work. In at least one instance, Carthage sexually assaulted a girl when they didn't consent.
After he was arrested before he could have sex with a repeat underage customer, Nathan Phelps, the son of Monica who was nearly shot himself when Monica was murdered, accidentally identified another suspect in his mother's murder in the police lineup.
Frustrated and determined to rectify his mistake, Nathan located Carthage in his office at My Salvation Charities and shot him to death. (SVU: "Infected")
