One of the Greatest Law & Order Episodes Ever

This would have to be one of the greatest Law & Order episodes I have ever seen.

It starts with Briscoe and Logan investigating a young girl, Corey Russell who was killed in what they thought was a snuff film.

But she turns out to be alive. The investigation takes a twist when Corey reveals that she was raped by a group of guys at her school who participate in a "sex-for-points" club.

As the police investigate, they find out that Corey wasn't the only girl who was pressured by the "sex-for-points" club.

McCoy was good at questioning Peter Facinelli's character in court and another member of the group who is offered a deal. He says, "How many points do you think you'll be worth in prison?" That was excellent.

The episode contains the most brilliant performances with actors Monica Keena as the victim and Peter Facinelli as the cocky, smart-mouth member of the club.

The episode is another "ripped from the headlines" storyline about the Spur Posse.

This episode is absolutely amazing and it should be named one of the most greatest L&O episodes ever.

Monica Keena should have won an Oscar for her role in this episode. She was that good.

Like I've said before, this episode should go down as one of the greatest L&O episodes in the history of L&O.
