Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Season 1, Episode 7

Uncivilized

When a young boy is found murdered, suspicion leads Benson and Stabler to a recently paroled child molester, who soon becomes a test case for a new and broader application of civil commitment. Although they both hate what the man has done in the past, it is soon obvious to the detectives that the teenagers who initially steered them in the man's direction are hiding secrets of their own.
