This week, the Special Victims Unit tackles the pervasive and insidious crime of sextortion. A television reporter finds herself caught in the crosshairs, her career and reputation threatened by unseen forces.
Benson (Mariska Hargitay), never one to shy away from a challenge, steps in to help the reporter regain control of the narrative, while Velasco (Octavio Pisano) dons an undercover persona, posing as a wealthy target to lure the perpetrators into the open.
Will the unit be able to bring these digital extortionists to justice, or will they slip through the net and continue to prey on vulnerable individuals? Let’s see if the SVU can turn the tables on those who profit from shame.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Economics of Shame airs Thursday, October 31, 2024, at 9:00 pm on NBC.
