EPISODE SYNOPSIS: CON ARTIST FOUND AT CENTER OF COLOSSAL DESIGNER BABY RING - A distraught and pregnant April Troost, (Estella Warren) is found on a ledge threatening to commit suicide. After being talked down, she confides in Benson (Mariska Hargitay) that she has been raped, and her unborn child is a product of that crime. Troost accuses Barclay Palmer (Julian Sands), a handsome, wealthy and successful business man, of the crime. Although Palmer denies involvement, DNA tests prove he is the father. The case goes to trial, but when it becomes evident that Troost is willing to settle for money, her credibility diminishes and Benson and Stabler (Chris Meloni) become suspicious of her story.

			TRIVIA:	[•] SVU is currently the highest rated series of the Law & Order franchise, and is one of NBC's top rated shows. The Law & Order series also includes four other dramas: the original Law & Order, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Law & Order: Trial By Jury, and Conviction, the latter two of which were cancelled after their first seasons.
				[•] Unlike the original Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU follows a distinct division of the New York City Police Department: the Special Victims Unit (aka the Sex Crimes division, as explained in the first episode). As its name implies, the detectives in this division investigate crimes involving sexual assault, the very young, or the very elderly, as well as any crime loosely connected with any of the three. Their unit is based out of the fictitious 16th Precinct (sometimes called Manhattan SVU).
				[•] The series was originally proposed under the title Sex Crimes, and unrelated to the Law & Order brand. NBC thought the title was too harsh, and after discussions between network executives and Dick Wolf (creator of Law & Order) it became part of the L&O brand, debuting as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
