Rafael Barba: His lawyer's invoking the First Amendment?
Amanda Rollins: He claims he was trying to cure her, and the victim does, too.
Rafael Barba: The victim?
Dominick Carisi Jr.: Yeah, she admits that she was raped, but she doesn't wanna press charges because she thinks the guy did it for the right reasons.
Olivia Benson: None of that matters. Ann didn't consent. It was rape.
Dominick Carisi Jr.: Right, but if she really believes that what he did was curative...
Rafael Barba: Even if you buy into this demented doctrine, a patient has the right to refuse care at any time.
Dominick Carisi Jr.: Of course, but I'm just saying that given her religious beliefs, all right, it's more than possible that this kid's defense attorney is gonna lather that up into consent.
Rafael Barba: Yeah, I agree. So we've gotta help Ann see the light, so to speak.
Odafin Tutuola: And how do we do that?
Rafael Barba: Use your imagination. Religion has been used to justify everything from genocide to the war against Christmas. I'm sure we can twist it in our favor for once. Just get her on our side.
