03 - Is That Staten Island Slang?

Published: May 11, 2020, 2:56 p.m.

The Randomizer sends Adam Schwitters and Josh Duggan screaming into the near-present, all the way forward to “Intent” from Season 19, Episode 8. In their first foray into the Ripped from the Headlines fare that established Law & Order as a brand, the gang at SVU investigate a rape that isn’t quite what it seems. Featuring Shameless’s Steve Howey as an MMA fighter nicknamed ‘The Monster,” we watch as he jarringly rapes an Instagram star, only to find out that she asked for him to rape her. Or did she? The search for the truth takes the unit to West Virginia and back, with road movie hilarity ensuing. This is all based on a real-life incident involving former NBA star, Chris “The Birdman” Andersen and Instagram star Paris Roxanne/Dunn/Dylan, which was featured on two episodes of Catfish—Season 4, Episode 6 “Felipe & Jasmine” and Season 6, Episode 12 “Open Investigation.”
