In another bit of inspired casting, the SVU folks cast former "Ghost Whisperer" star, Jennifer Love Hewitt, as a young woman who claims to have been repeatedly "taken advantage of" by the same guy, a traveling businessman, who may or may not be a serial rapist. Hewitt, an actress who has proved her skills in episodic television, gives a worthy-of-an-Emmy-nomination performance.
Equally as impressive is guest star James Les Gros who plays the possible perpetrator. Judith Light also makes one of her return visits as Judge Donnelly.
This episodes also "hints" at its sister show, "Law & Order: Los Angeles" by introducing that show's Skeet Ulrich as he helps Benson (Mariska Hargitay) investigate the similar rapes that occurred in Los Angeles.
