The press release reads: "Amaro's career will be on the line, and Benson is going to be faced with a life-changing decision."

Earlier this month it was revealed that Benson -- who just got out of quite a damaging experience after witnessing serial killer William Lewis' (Pablo Schreiber) suicide in a recent episode -- will have a whole new situation to deal with. Interestingly enough she is going to be linked up with a rape suspect in a new case wherein an "online ad leads to the rape and robbery of several male tourists."

With his professional and personal life at risk, he looks to his friend John Munch (Belzer) for advice. Meanwhile, an online ad for escorts leads to the rape and robbery of several male tourists, and one of the suspects has a surprising connection to Sergeant Benson (Mariska Hargitay) that may chane her life forever."
