Ep 10. Shaken

In Law & Order: Special Victims Unit season 5 episode 10 titled "Shaken," Detective Olivia Benson and her team investigate a rape case involving a popular college student, Jake. Jake and his girlfriend, Kelly, were at a party when they had an argument and Jake left the party alone. Later that night, Jake was found by the cops unconscious in a park with several injuries suggesting he had been raped.

The team begins their investigation by interviewing Jake's friends at the party but are unable to find any substantial evidence. Jake is uncooperative with the detectives during the initial investigation and with his girlfriend's constant questioning of his behavior after the incident, things start getting tense. Eventually, the team manages to uncover a web of secrets that lead to the possible suspect.

While processing the evidence, Detective Benson and Detective Stabler discover that Jake's injuries are not consistent with being raped by a single individual. They also uncover that the perpetrator used drugs to incapacitate the victim, and this makes them suspect that there could be other victims.

In the course of their investigation, they discover that Jake had a secret life and had been involved in a string of anonymous sexual encounters with men. They also find a pattern of similar rapes reported in different parts of the city.

Detective Benson tries to help Jake and convince him to come forward and report the other rapes to the police, but he is scared of the implications it might have on his girlfriend, his family, and his reputation. However, with the team's help and reassurance, he eventually decides to come forward with the truth.

As the investigation progresses, the team realizes that the perpetrator is not acting alone but is part of a larger network involved in drug-facilitated rapes. They follow the trail of evidence and discover that the perpetrator is part of a fraternity at a local college. The team quickly takes action to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice.

Overall, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit season 5 episode 10 is an intense and emotionally charged episode that highlights the importance of addressing issues related to sexual assault and abuse in our society. The storyline is compelling and well-written, and the performance of the actors is exceptional. It is a must-watch for fans of the show and anyone interested in the subject matter.
