The dedicated detectives of the NYPD’s Special Victims Unit are getting some vacation time, as NBC‘s Law & Order: SVU is airing a rerun tonight, Jan. 25 at 9 p.m.
Wednesday’s installment is a rerun of season 18, episode 6, “Rape Interrupted,” which originally aired on Oct. 26. In the episode, ER veteran Anthony Edwards plays a police sergeant who puts the SVU in a tough position when his son is accused of rape. His attempt to influence the investigation does not go over well with Lt. Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay).
Next Wednesday will also be a repeat, as NBC re-broadcasts season 18, episode 7 called “Broken Rhymes.” That episode guest stars actor-musical artist Wyclef Jean as the CEO of a record label who comes under fire for the assault of a transgender student, and you can watch a preview of that story by clicking on the featured video at the top of this article.
