Fin Tutuola:
Problem is, even if the woman lies about her age, it's still the man's fault.

John Munch:
[waves pencil in the air from a desk behind Fin] Ignorance is no defense.

Olivia Benson:
[walks in with papers] Lashika Morris is 14; she's not a woman; she's a girl.

Fin Tutuola:
What's the guy supposed to do? Check the girl's birth certificate? I'm just as opposed to rape as everybody else in this room. But if she wanted to have sex, that's her choice. She wasn't forced.

Elliot Stabler:
[monotone, interrupting] She's a minor; what she wants isn't relevant. [Alexandra and George walk in]

A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot:
[cautious, curious] Are we interrupting?

John Munch:
Friendly disagreement. [gets up] Care to join in?

A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot:
I cam e to tell you that the D.A. is allowing us to move on Leon Tate.

Olivia Benson:
[looks back and gets up] On what grounds?

Dr. George Huang:
[off-screen] Based upon the reports that I read, I think that I can make a case that Mr. Tate has antisocial personality disorder.

Elliot Stabler:
That's what I've been saying all along.

Dr. George Huang:
No empathy, no conscience, no thought for the possible consequences of his actions.

Olivia Benson:
So, he knows what he's doing is wrong.

Dr. George Huang:
And he doesn't care. Most people with H.I.V. act responsibly when it comes to practicing safe sex. Tate either can't control or won't control his impulses, which make him a repeat sex offender.

Elliot Stabler:
Yeah; he's a sexual predator. Now he's definitely a danger to others.

A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot:
Which is the standard set by the Supreme Court.

Dr. George Huang:
[off-screen] Do we know how he contracted H.I.V.?

Elliot Stabler:
Yeah. Shooting dope; he found out when he was tested in prison. [slaps file on desk]

Dr. George Huang:
One fix wipes away any self-control that Tate has left, making him even more likely to have unprotected sex with a minor.

Olivia Benson:
And this is already in the works?

A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot:
We argue the motion for a commitment hearing this afternoon. It would be a big help if you could be there in case the judge has any questions about Tate's past.

Elliot Stabler:
[small smile, straightening back up to his desk] I wouldn't miss it for the world.
