Quotes 

• Rafael Barba : His lawyer's invoking the First Amendment?

  Amanda Rollins : He claims he was trying to cure her, and the victim does, too.

  Rafael Barba : The victim?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah, she admits that she was raped, but she doesn't wanna press charges because she thinks the guy did it for the right reasons.

  Olivia Benson : None of that matters. Ann didn't consent. It was rape.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Right, but if she really believes that what he did was curative...

  Rafael Barba : Even if you buy into this demented doctrine, a patient has the right to refuse care at any time.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Of course, but I'm just saying that given her religious beliefs, all right, it's more than possible that this kid's defense attorney is gonna lather that up into consent.

  Rafael Barba : Yeah, I agree. So we've gotta help Ann see the light, so to speak.

  Odafin Tutuola : And how do we do that?

  Rafael Barba : Use your imagination. Religion has been used to justify everything from genocide to the war against Christmas. I'm sure we can twist it in our favor for once. Just get her on our side.

• Olivia Benson : Lucas has a right to counsel, but he's already confessed to my detectives.

  Reverend Gary Langham : There is nothing to confess to.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Excuse me?

  Reverend Gary Langham : Lucas had curative intercourse with Ann Davenport. It's his right under the First Amendment.

  Odafin Tutuola : His right?

  Reverend Gary Langham : It's an expression of his and Ann's religious beliefs.

  Olivia Benson : Okay.

  Odafin Tutuola : Look, I'm no preacher, but I know the guy in the sky isn't down with rape.

  Olivia Benson : Yeah, well, neither is the State of New York. And regardless of his religious beliefs, Lucas is guilty of sexual assault, so he won't be going anywhere.

  Reverend Gary Langham : Well, then I will see you in court.

• Odafin Tutuola : So Ann can't tell us who attacked her or she won't?

  Olivia Benson : Well, it's obvious she's traumatized. It's possible that the perp threatened her.

  Odafin Tutuola : Or she had sex with a boyfriend and don't want her girlfriend to know.

  Olivia Benson : I'm not getting that.

• Odafin Tutuola : Reverend, huh? What'd he have to say?

  Olivia Benson : That they're not in Kansas anymore.

• Officer Rachel Ortiz : Vic's name is Ann Davenport. 18, part of a visiting church group fom Hunter, Indiana.

  Olivia Benson : Okay. And she said that she was sexually assaulted in her room.

  Officer Rachel Ortiz : No, actually, her friend said that. Lydia Banks, also 18. She's the one who called 911.

  Odafin Tutuola : Okay, we're gonna need security footage from the hallway and the elevator, key card entry logs, the works.

• Odafin Tutuola : How do you two know each other?

  Lydia Banks : Um, well, we grew up together. I, um... I got out of Indiana when I turned sixteen. We did stay in touch, but tonight's the first time I've seen her since I moved to New York.

  Odafin Tutuola : Okay. So what'd you guys do tonight?

  Lydia Banks : Um... well, we had a drink. It was just a soda at the... at the bar. Um... and then we went back to her room. Um... and then the chaperone knocked on the door, said it was 11:00; it's lights out. And Ann, she snuck me her room key so that I could come back and we could... we could hang out.

  Odafin Tutuola : How much later?

  Lydia Banks : It was, like, maybe a half hour later. And, you know, I thought everyone would be asleep, so I went in and Ann was crying. And she said that she had been raped.

  Odafin Tutuola : She used that word?

  Lydia Banks : Basically. I mean, she said "He made me. My virtue is gone." What does that sound like to you?
