In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: The police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders.
In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.

Casey's POV

"Casey, you know we have finals tomorrow before we say goodbye to college for good." My best friend, Harley had said.
"Yes, I know. I'm excited. Getting a degree in law has been a long, but blast journey." I had said as we walked out of the bar.

We stagger a little but I'm not that drunk as her. And plus I'm in heels. So it doesn't help as much.

"Let's get you home into bed missy." I told her as I called a cab.

Once the cab had stopped in front of us, I helped her in and slid in myself. I told him where we had lived and we were off. The good thing about where we lived, is that it was in the same building just different floors.
Once at our apartment, we got out of the cab and staggered to our apartment buildings door. Once we got to it, we took the elevator up to her floor. I grabbed her keys out of her bag and unlocked the door and walked in.

"Home sweet home, babes." I told her. "Now off to bed you go." I said as I walked her to her room.

Once I got her in her bed, took off her heels and covered her up, I kissed her forehead and walked out of her room. I set her keys on the side table, locked the lock and walked out.
Once I got back to the elevator, I hit my floor and rode it there getting tirer than before. Once it stopped, it had opened and I staggered out. When I did, I ran into a man.

"Sorry," I told him.
"Its okay. Long drunken night?" He had asked.
"Yeah. Its my last week of college. So I went out and celebrated with my bestie." I said as I staggered off towards my place.
"Let me help you."
"M'kay." I slurred out.

He put my arm around his shoulder and helped me down to my door. Once I got to it, I stopped and took my keys out and unlocked my door. Once I unlocked my door, he helped me in and I set my keys and bag on the side table.

"Thanks, you can show yourself out the door. I'm gonna go take a shower and go to bed." I said then walked away.

As I was walking away, I didn't think if he walked out or not while I went to my room. That's when I heard my door open then close as I reached my room.
As I went in, I take off my heels, while I'm walking in. Undid my zipper to my dress then walked into the bathroom. As I walked in there, I took off my bra and under wear then went to the shower. As I was about to turn on the water, I was pushed hard against the shower wall.
I yelped a little from how it hurt. When I went to turn to look, I was slapped hard in the face.

"Keep looking straight." The man has said.

I did what he said until I heard him unzip his pants. I tried to move but he pinned my arms above my head.

"No, no, no. Please don't. I'm begging." I pleaded with him.

But it was too late, I felt him enter inside me hard making me scream in pain. He pulled my hair back hard, making look at him.
It was the man that helped me in.
As he kept pushing against me, I kept yelling at him to stop and to get off but that just made everything worse. He pushed into me harder, making me hit my head against the shower wall hard. All I could do was stand there and cry. And think to myself, 'why me?'
As I was counting in my head the seconds, the minutes of how long this was going.
20 seconds.
45 seconds.
75 seconds.
By the time it got to 180 seconds, he pulled me back to look at him again then pushed me hard into the shower wall. I screamed again and when I did he slapped me.
At this moment I just wanted to die already. But an angel had called out my name.

"Casey!" It my was next door neighbor, Kenny. "Casey, are you okay? I heard you scream, did you fall in the shower?" He asked as I heard him come into the bedroom. "Hey get off of her!" Kenny yelled grabbing the man, pulling him off of me, making me fall back as well.

As he done so the man had pouched Kenny then took off. When Kenny got up off the bed, he went to go after him but it was too late. He was gone already. Kenny shut and locked my door then came back to me.
I was balled up in the shower floor shaking. Well more like rocking myself.

"Casey, dear are you okay?" He asked me as he got his phone out of his pocket.

I didn't speak one word to him. He got up and went into my room to grab my blanket to wrap it around me as he was on the phone.

"911, I need the cops here now. My neighbor just got attacked and raped." I heard him say. "I'm here with her, I went to chase after him after I pulled him off of her but it was to late he was gone." He said. "The address is 10024 Carmel st, New York, New York apartment 6F. Come quick, I think she's in shock." Kenny told them then hung up the phone.

After he got off the phone, he went back into my room and went to find something. I didn't know what it was until he came back with my robe.

"Casey, put this around you and come with me into the living room. I'll make you some tea til the police get here." He told me.

Kenny was an older gentleman. About early or late 30-40s. His wife was probably at work, at the hospital. She was a nurse. They were kind to me ever since I moved in. They were like my parents. Helped me when I needed and the other way around as well. Their eldest child, 15, was in college for pre-med and their youngest, 18 months was just trying to walk.
He helped me up off the floor into my robe. I didn't even care he saw me naked. He was a nurse as well during the day for 3-4 days a week where his wife worked more days and nights.
As I slide my robe on, we walked into the living room and he went to make me a cup of hot tea.
About a few moments later, he handed me my cup then just a minute later there was a knock on the door.
Kenny got up and went to the door. When he opened it, I heard them.

"NYPD, we got a call about an attack and rape?" A woman asked.
"Yes, my neighbor, Casey. She's in here." Kenny told him.

As they walked over to me, one of the police officers was on the radio for an ambulance.

"Miss, are you okay to talk?" The lady cop asked me.

I looked at her and nodded a little bit but stopped myself. What was I gonna say? How was I gonna say it? Then I thought of one person who I could trust right now. My so called step sister, detective Olivia Benson.

"Can you tell me what happened here?" She asked me.
I nodded my head. "Can you call detective Olivia Benson from SVU for me. She's my sister." I had told her.
"Sure of course." She had said then got up and went to her partner and spoke to him.
