Tommy Sullivan is the husband of Bella Carisi, who was raped by his parole officer Donna Marshall.
History[]
Tommy was a former drug addict who was starting to fall back into his old habits. During a meeting with Donna, he was forced to pee into a cup in front of her before being raped by her. He initially did not want to press charges, knowing that he wouldn’t be believed but was persuaded by SVU to do so, on the off-chance his parole officer could have transmitted an STD to him.
When Tommy reported this to Carisi, Donna framed him for drug possession while on parole and he was arrested. Bella subsequently kicked him out of their house after believing he cheated on her.
The Special Victims Unit soon found out that Tommy was framed and were able to help get him acquitted after a complicated and lengthy court trial, which resulted in Donna being exposed for abuse on other parolees after another one accuses her and she ends up losing her job as a parole officer. Bella forgave Tommy and let them back in the house, and he was given a new parole officer. (SVU: "Parole Violations")
Carisi later mentions that he has a new niece, meaning Tommy and Bella have a daughter. (SVU: "Patrimonial Burden")
Carisi later mentioned that by 2021, Tommy and Bella got married. (SVU: "What Can Happen In The Dark")
