Robert Logan is an abuse victim at the hands of his misandrist grandmother, Victoria, and a patient and negligence victim of his therapist, Dr. Greta Heints, whom Robert got attracted to, which led to him being a suspect in Heints' sexual assault.
Background[]
Robert is the son of Christina Logan and an unnamed boy she had sex with partly to defy her fanatical, abusive mother, who nearly beat her to death when she got pregnant at age fourteen, because Victoria's husband left her and she tried to force Christina to see men as "dirty" and "sex is evil". Victoria forced Christina to live with relatives in Minnesota, barring her from returning and lying to the community by saying Robert was Victoria's "only child".
As a result of Christina's birth of Robert, Victoria tortured and devalued Robert for the next seven years. The abuses included untimed bedside "prayer" late at night, scrubbing raw in the bathtub, and beating and tying off Robert's genitals to nearly castrate him from the battery, all out of zealous and resentful mania. Christina ran back to get Robert in 1987 and found out the horrors of Victoria's actions upon arrival. Christina ran out of the house with Robert, poured lighter fluid around it, and started a fire, burning Victoria to death inside. Robert would be found dazed on the road in what would be the first of his countless fugue blackouts from the trauma he endured throughout his life.
Christina always protected Robert from that point forward, but maintained him as her "brother" instead of her son. Christina worked in crisis units for mentally ill and substance-abusing people, and she helped Robert get into Hudson University, where he'd have even greater achievements. He even started dating another student, Keri Price. But when he started seeing psychotherapist Greta Heints to regress himself back and recover his memories to recover from his trauma, she bungled what he went through and how severe it was to the point the psychodrama of her playing the role of "mother" led to Robert being infatuated with her. He broke up with Price and cut himself off from everyone, obsessed with wanting to have a relationship with Heints. When she realized she crossed the line she can't go back over in Robert's mental state, she tried to assign him to a male therapist, but Robert saw this as "breaking up". He had a nervous breakdown and called Christina, who admitted him for a 24-hour emergency psychiatric hold. He only stayed for five and signed himself out against medical advice from the ward since he was no present danger.

When Christina found one of Robert's hypnotic regression tapes in all its graphic language to feed his lovesickness, she snapped and targeted Heints out of revenge. Luring Heints to a crack house Christina frequented and saying he needed urgent help, Christina bound her with duct tape, threw her on a mattress, and beat her and kicked her genitals severely enough to tear her genitals and wipe her memory of the night from blows to her head. SVU swiftly rules out Heints' patients on the sex offense registry in her other counseling, even committing another one when he violates his parole, but they find out Robert's been making repeated phone calls to Heints after he breaks into her office and steals the rest of the hypnosis tapes.
In a maneuver for attention, Robert slashes his wrists in an "attempt" on himself that's enough for the paramedics to take him to the ER, with Heints riding in the ambulance. When interrogated, he professes his love for Heints and believes she's leaving her husband for him, still in disbelief of her arranging a therapist transfer from believing he could "save" their sessions when he checked himself out from the ward. Christina provides his alibi for the timeline, but there's still a window of opportunity, so Robert's arrested.
His competency is challenged to prevent a trial, so instead a hearing is held to determine his competency in hopes it will lead to a trial. When Heints takes the stand, she confesses the therapy she used but denies a "relationship" and elaborates the transference Robert's experiencing. Robert starts shouting and tries to make out with Heints on the stand before being restrained, begging her to say she loves him, which is enough to can assumptions of his competency.
Christina later finds the hypnosis tapes and wants Heints arrested for malpractice, with the language implying a sexual relationship more than a maternal placeholding to the detectives. When going back to the crack house, a witness there places Robert there a couple weeks before the night of the assault, remembering him with Christina, who was there on that night. She's confronted in interrogation and confesses to the crimes and her motives, pressing charges on Heints. She says Victoria died of cancer, but when the fire was found out, Heints regrets she went far off track with the therapy she tried to utilize and insists Dr. George Huang be Robert's therapeutic friend to get him to confide the truth.
Robert reveals the abuse, then finally reveals he would keep a secret for years that Christina set the fire, before breaking down and crying and then hugging Huang while sitting on the floor. Christina is confronted again and she confesses to Victoria's murder as well as the truth of Christina being Robert's mother, not Victoria. Christina was arrested and found guilty and imprisoned by her charges.
It's unknown if Robert was released or institutionalized with his mental and emotional capacity.
