Teddy Courtney is the half-brother of former Chicago Police Department detective Erin Lindsay.
History[]
When Teddy was a boy, he was a victim of Bob Clinton's child pornography ring, even being forced to rape fellow captive victim Jocelyn Cerpaski. The trauma left him making poor choices later in life, which ultimately led to him living on the streets. Eventually, while trying to locate a boy named Henry, who was the latest victim of Clinton's pornography ring, Lindsay noticed Teddy in one of the pictures distributed by the ring.
Teddy was taken to the Special Victims Unit precinct but was reluctant to work with them, acting hostile towards the detectives. However, upon being reunited with Jocelyn, he admitted to her that he was trying to prevent her further rape from another abuser and broke down in guilt over raping her. Understanding, Jocelyn forgave him before they witnessed a distressed and scared Henry being groomed by Clinton on video, Teddy decided to help identify Clinton. (SVU: "Chicago Crossover")
