.
2
00:00:05,606 --> 00:00:07,466
- In the criminal justice
system,
3
00:00:07,499 --> 00:00:08,942
sexually based offenses
4
00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:11,044
are considered
especially heinous.
5
00:00:11,111 --> 00:00:13,614
In New York City,
the dedicated detectives
6
00:00:13,714 --> 00:00:15,449
who investigate
these vicious felonies
7
00:00:15,516 --> 00:00:17,050
are members of an elite squad
8
00:00:17,150 --> 00:00:18,911
known as
the Special Victims Unit.
9
00:00:19,011 --> 00:00:20,854
These are their stories.
10
00:00:22,347 --> 00:00:23,891
- You're a pill sometimes,
you know that?
11
00:00:23,957 --> 00:00:25,250
- I answered your question.
12
00:00:25,350 --> 00:00:26,460
- "I don't know"
is not an answer.
13
00:00:26,593 --> 00:00:27,761
- Would you rather
me lie to you?
14
00:00:27,861 --> 00:00:29,363
- I'd rather you just
tell me straight.
15
00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:31,098
- And I'd like to enjoy
this cup of coffee
16
00:00:31,198 --> 00:00:33,258
before I'm interrogated.
- Oh, you guys,
17
00:00:33,358 --> 00:00:35,102
it's not too late
to swap partners again.
18
00:00:35,202 --> 00:00:37,195
- You know, I set him up with
a mom from Jessie's school.
19
00:00:37,262 --> 00:00:38,472
She's super cute, not crazy.
20
00:00:38,605 --> 00:00:39,806
And he won't make
his mind up if he
21
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,174
wants to see her again or not.
22
00:00:41,241 --> 00:00:43,143
- Uh, Rollins,
you know better than that.
23
00:00:43,176 --> 00:00:44,978
You don't set up
your partner on dates.
24
00:00:45,112 --> 00:00:46,163
- Oh--
25
00:00:46,196 --> 00:00:47,981
- Come on, he's not wrong.
26
00:00:48,015 --> 00:00:49,816
- I was being nice.
27
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:51,209
- The date was fine.
28
00:00:51,276 --> 00:00:52,653
We went to dinner.
We saw a movie.
29
00:00:52,786 --> 00:00:54,254
I gave it a shot.
30
00:00:54,321 --> 00:00:56,189
I just feel like I have
enough on my plate right now.
31
00:00:56,223 --> 00:00:57,357
- So you don't like her.
32
00:00:57,424 --> 00:00:59,026
- Oh, my God.
33
00:00:59,092 --> 00:01:00,327
- I don't have time
for paperwork, man!
34
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,620
Just tell me who's in charge!
35
00:01:01,687 --> 00:01:02,629
Who's in charge, man?
36
00:01:02,696 --> 00:01:03,622
Who I gotta talk to?
37
00:01:03,689 --> 00:01:04,790
- Hi, there.
38
00:01:04,890 --> 00:01:06,600
Hi, I'm Captain Benson.
39
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:08,026
How can I help you?
40
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,741
Oh, hello.
41
00:01:14,841 --> 00:01:17,636
Uh, how about you come
join me in my office?
42
00:01:17,736 --> 00:01:19,913
Hi, follow me.
43
00:01:23,542 --> 00:01:25,143
Okay, so tell us what happened.
44
00:01:25,243 --> 00:01:27,621
- I'm helping him clean up
in the bath this morning.
45
00:01:27,721 --> 00:01:29,723
All of a sudden he pulls away.
46
00:01:29,790 --> 00:01:30,857
Says it hurts.
47
00:01:30,891 --> 00:01:32,626
- Did you see what was wrong?
48
00:01:32,693 --> 00:01:35,729
- He had, um,
bruises on his back.
49
00:01:35,796 --> 00:01:37,230
On his legs too.
50
00:01:37,264 --> 00:01:38,865
- Okay, did he say anything
else in the moment?
51
00:01:38,932 --> 00:01:40,233
- No, like--
52
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:42,069
I tried asking what happened.
He wouldn't tell me.
53
00:01:42,135 --> 00:01:43,996
- Mom doesn't know
what happened either?
54
00:01:44,096 --> 00:01:45,305
- She passed.
55
00:01:45,372 --> 00:01:46,373
Cancer. Last year.
56
00:01:46,406 --> 00:01:47,833
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
57
00:01:47,933 --> 00:01:49,067
- Listen, I get that
you have questions,
58
00:01:49,101 --> 00:01:50,110
but I just want
this dealt with.
59
00:01:50,177 --> 00:01:51,712
- Okay.
- Mr. DeMarco,
60
00:01:51,778 --> 00:01:53,914
asking questions
is how we deal with it.
61
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:56,883
Okay, so has Michael
seen a doctor yet?
62
00:01:56,917 --> 00:01:58,285
- No, that's a waste of time.
63
00:01:58,352 --> 00:01:59,987
As soon as I saw it,
I came straight here.
64
00:02:00,087 --> 00:02:01,446
- So what do you mean,
"that's a waste of time?"
65
00:02:01,513 --> 00:02:03,657
- Because I know who did it!
66
00:02:03,724 --> 00:02:05,959
- Who did it?
- [exhales sharply]
67
00:02:07,953 --> 00:02:09,688
Brandon Klein.
68
00:02:09,788 --> 00:02:11,064
He's a high school kid.
69
00:02:11,098 --> 00:02:12,733
Babysits when
I gotta work weekends.
70
00:02:12,766 --> 00:02:14,134
He's my best friend's oldest.
71
00:02:14,201 --> 00:02:15,836
Known Michael
since he was born.
72
00:02:15,936 --> 00:02:18,805
- Okay, well,
we'll talk to Brandon.
73
00:02:18,905 --> 00:02:22,300
Um, but what makes you
so sure that it was him?
74
00:02:22,367 --> 00:02:24,936
- Because Michael
was fine yesterday
75
00:02:24,970 --> 00:02:26,079
before Brandon had him.
76
00:02:26,113 --> 00:02:27,481
And if you stop questioning me
77
00:02:27,547 --> 00:02:29,608
and go ahead and pick him up,
you'd know.
78
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,086
- Sorry, Daddy.
79
00:02:33,153 --> 00:02:35,255
- All right, Mr. DeMarco,
listen to me.
80
00:02:35,288 --> 00:02:37,791
If something did happen
to Michael,
81
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:40,118
then we need to make sure
that we get this right.
82
00:02:40,152 --> 00:02:42,696
- And that starts with
getting him to the hospital.
83
00:02:42,763 --> 00:02:44,798
I know you said he had a bath,
but any evidence
84
00:02:44,865 --> 00:02:46,116
at all can be helpful.
- Mm-hmm.
85
00:02:46,149 --> 00:02:47,225
- Would that take a while?
86
00:02:47,292 --> 00:02:48,869
- It takes as long as it takes.
87
00:02:48,935 --> 00:02:51,371
But before, uh, we do that,
88
00:02:51,471 --> 00:02:53,340
I would like to talk
to Michael alone.
89
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,574
- No, no.
90
00:02:54,674 --> 00:02:55,776
He's my kid.
91
00:02:55,909 --> 00:02:57,277
I wanna hear what he says.
92
00:02:57,310 --> 00:02:58,678
- Okay, that's fine,
93
00:02:58,779 --> 00:03:01,348
as long as
you let me do the talking
94
00:03:01,415 --> 00:03:04,342
and, for Michael's sake,
that you--
95
00:03:04,409 --> 00:03:07,804
you hold it together, okay?
96
00:03:07,838 --> 00:03:09,356
Okay.
97
00:03:13,185 --> 00:03:15,696
So, Michael,
my name is Olivia.
98
00:03:15,762 --> 00:03:17,664
Hey,
you want something to drink?
99
00:03:17,731 --> 00:03:18,665
No?
100
00:03:18,732 --> 00:03:20,434
Well, that is a cool toy.
101
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:23,870
Is that--is that a superhero?
102
00:03:23,937 --> 00:03:26,573
Yeah?
Does he have super powers?
103
00:03:26,673 --> 00:03:28,825
- He eats bad guys.
104
00:03:28,859 --> 00:03:31,103
- He eats them?
105
00:03:31,203 --> 00:03:32,270
Wow.
106
00:03:32,337 --> 00:03:34,606
And how does he know who's bad?
107
00:03:34,706 --> 00:03:36,383
- I tell him.
108
00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:37,843
- You tell him.
109
00:03:38,685 --> 00:03:40,487
Well, that kind of--
110
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:43,890
that kind of makes you
a superhero, too, doesn't it?
111
00:03:48,495 --> 00:03:54,334
Have you told him
to eat any bad guys lately?
112
00:03:54,367 --> 00:03:56,002
- Brandon.
113
00:03:56,103 --> 00:03:57,504
- Uh-huh. And why's that?
114
00:03:57,571 --> 00:04:00,040
- He makes me take naps.
115
00:04:00,073 --> 00:04:01,691
I hate naps.
116
00:04:01,725 --> 00:04:02,868
- Yeah, me too.
117
00:04:02,901 --> 00:04:04,870
I hated naps.
118
00:04:04,903 --> 00:04:06,546
Is that--is that
the only reason
119
00:04:06,613 --> 00:04:08,582
that Brandon's a bad guy?
120
00:04:10,450 --> 00:04:12,519
- Answer her, Michael.
- Hey--
121
00:04:12,652 --> 00:04:13,979
- Maybe we should take a walk.
- It's okay.
122
00:04:14,045 --> 00:04:15,288
Hey, look. It's okay.
123
00:04:15,388 --> 00:04:17,082
Nobody's mad at you.
124
00:04:17,149 --> 00:04:19,025
I think your dad is just--
you know,
125
00:04:19,059 --> 00:04:23,330
he's just upset because
he knows you got hurt.
126
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:25,565
And we're all just
trying to figure out
127
00:04:25,632 --> 00:04:27,384
how--how that happened.
128
00:04:27,417 --> 00:04:28,435
Right?
129
00:04:31,138 --> 00:04:33,373
- Not Brandon.
130
00:04:33,507 --> 00:04:35,542
Brandon's friend.
131
00:04:35,675 --> 00:04:37,544
The man.
132
00:04:37,577 --> 00:04:39,379
- What man, Michael?
133
00:04:39,446 --> 00:04:40,580
Look at me, son.
- Mr. DeMarco.
134
00:04:40,614 --> 00:04:41,907
- Tell me what he did
to you right now.
135
00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:43,150
- You have to back up!
- You need to do something!
136

- Stop!
137
00:04:45,285 --> 00:04:48,413
We took pictures, Daddy.
138
00:04:49,773 --> 00:04:52,784

And I know it's wrong,
and I hate it.

357
00:13:57,428 --> 00:14:01,574
Across all the site's material,
the crimes vary.
358
00:14:01,674 --> 00:14:05,002
We're looking at exploitation
and creating CSAM.
359
00:14:05,103 --> 00:14:07,347
But in some of the cases,
we're also looking at
360
00:14:07,413 --> 00:14:10,416
forcible touching and various
kinds of sexual abuse.
361
00:14:10,516 --> 00:14:13,619
Now, I count 26 different kids.
362
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,680
- Any luck ID'ing them?
363
00:14:15,747 --> 00:14:17,181
- Most of the files don't help,
and the abusers are good
364
00:14:17,248 --> 00:14:19,192
at hiding the who and where,
right?
365
00:14:19,292 --> 00:14:21,419
But some of them slipped up.
366
00:14:21,486 --> 00:14:25,990
So one video takes place
in a young girl's bedroom.
367
00:14:26,023 --> 00:14:29,268
She's about four or five,
368
00:14:29,368 --> 00:14:31,129
blonde hair.
369
00:14:31,195 --> 00:14:34,240
She's got a lot of
dolphin stuffed animals.
370
00:14:34,307 --> 00:14:36,709
The--the abuser molests her.
371
00:14:36,776 --> 00:14:41,080
And we see this carpet with
this distinctive pattern.
372
00:14:41,147 --> 00:14:43,216
Now, he's good at keeping
his face off camera,
373
00:14:43,282 --> 00:14:46,786
but we know he's white, male,
no discernible accent.
374
00:14:46,853 --> 00:14:49,689
- Maybe Real Time Crime gets
lucky with the manufacturer,
375
00:14:49,722 --> 00:14:50,990
gives us a direction.
376
00:14:51,023 --> 00:14:52,592
- Yeah, and what
also helps us is that
377
00:14:52,658 --> 00:14:54,227
the video catches a glimpse
378
00:14:54,327 --> 00:14:55,728

through a window.
379
00:14:55,795 --> 00:14:57,497
- Enough to
pinpoint a location?
380
00:14:57,597 --> 00:14:59,557
- TARU's confident.
We should hear from them soon.
381
00:14:59,624 --> 00:15:01,834
But my second lead
is the one that
382
00:15:01,934 --> 00:15:03,336
I think we can actually
move on.
383

- So it's another video.
384
00:15:05,396 --> 00:15:07,507
It was uploaded,
like, a week ago,
385
00:15:07,607 --> 00:15:10,243
and it takes place in what
looks like a classroom.
386
00:15:10,309 --> 00:15:12,069

- Yeah.
387
00:15:12,170 --> 00:15:14,547
