A Muslim woman appears to be assaulted with the main suspects appearing at first to be two young white males caught fleeing the scene. The situation is quickly declared a hate crime and controversy erupts as the media catches wind. However, the supposed victim may not be telling the whole truth, as it's later revealed she had been attacked by her ex-husband, who knew she was gay and tried to serve her justice according to Sharia Law. Meanwhile, Benson receives news that Rob Miller, who raped defense attorney Nikki Staines (Callie Thorne), has been released from prison on bail, leaving Benson shocked and dismayed.
