A brief recap of Law and Order: SVU season 26 episode 12

Ad

In Law and Order: SVU season 26 episode 12, the SVU team investigates an online child exploitation ring when a principal catches a student with a n*de picture, and calls the police. After questioning teenagers across different schools, the team discovers that someone pretending to be a teen is using social media to get compromising pictures from students and selling them to p*dophiles.

The only person that all teenagers have in common is Adam Parker, a college admissions advisor. They arrest him, but he offers to expose 50 p*dophiles in exchange for a deal. ADA Carisi wants to offer the deal, but Captain Benson opposes it, prioritizing justice over the idea of making more arrests. However, she eventually agrees.

Benson and Carisi convince DA Baxter to drop the charges against Matthew, and Baxter eventually accepts. This case marks a pivotal point in Silva's career and adds depth to the personality of the newest cast member of the series.
