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.

• Paul Davenport : We're taking our daughter home. We need to deal with this our way.

  Olivia Benson : I... I understand that, sir. But we are in the middle of a criminal investigation and we would very much appreciate your cooperation.

  Cheryl Davenport : It's the police, Paul. She needs to stay, right?

  Olivia Benson : Yes, that would be helpful.

  Cheryl Davenport : I'm just worried about Ann. Regardless of why this happened, she was traumatized. I wanna make sure she's safe.

  Amanda Rollins : So do we.

• Amanda Rollins : I found something else. The church's bank statements. Lucas said he was paid a monthly stipend of $200.

  Olivia Benson : Yeah, that was for, you know, maintenance, chores.

  Amanda Rollins : Maybe, sure, but I found... I mean, I found disbursements for $200 for half a dozen other kids, going back years.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Lucas did say he wasn't the only kid living there.

  Rafael Barba : If we can prove that any of the other boys working for Gary got paid for curatively raping someone, you've got sex trafficking.

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah, but we can't. Not without their cooperation.

  Olivia Benson : Well, Gary doesn't know that. He doesn't know what Lucas told us.

  Rafael Barba : Asset forfeiture laws are very strong under sex trafficking.
