SVU: Dude thought the cam girl was actually into him

SVU S22 E5 “Turn Me On Take Me Private”

If I have to hear one more dude talk to me about skeeting on their keyboard I’m going to blow my brains out.”

While performing a rape fantasy sequence during her livestream, cam girl Zoe is attacked by an intruder. Captain Benson discovers the assailant is one of her fans. "ShyGabe" tells Fin he believes Zoe is in love with him and he thought she was inviting him over to role play. The victim tells Kat she does not want her double life exposed. ADA Carisi believes a jury may not convict Gabe if they think the performer consented to the violent sex. 

Gabe represents himself at trial, using the opportunity to get Zoe to admit she said "I love you" to him in private chat rooms. Carisi counters by putting Zoe's other fans on the stand, all of whom say the cam girl said the same things to them. Gabe becomes jealous and has an outburst in court, pulling the COVID-era Plexiglas right off the witness stand.  

We're talking about Special Victims Unit season 22 episode 5 "Turn Me On Take Me Private." Our guest is Ronald Young Jr. from the Weight For It podcast.

This episode takes some inspiration from the 2018 case of Grant Amato.
