In the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode “Intersecting Lives,” a number of female prison inmates make accusations of sexual assault (in and out of prison) against corrections officer Gary Munson. After the SVU detectives arrest him, Munson’s union targets the SVU squad and ADA Barba (Raul Esparza). On the court steps, Barba tells Detective Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay): “Someone just threatened to kill me.”
