History[]
While they were living in New Jersey, John and Magda Plasky went looking for a little girl to kidnap and keep as a sex slave. When they meet a girl named Laurie, who had recently ran away from home, they offer to drive her home and Laurie took their offer but when she got in the car, Magda and John drugged and kidnapped her. They then took Laurie to their house, where they imprisoned her in their basement, where they made her call them her parents. During her captivity, John would repeatedly drug and rape her. Laurie was told to never make noises while there were guests but during a Fourth of July party, one of Magda's relatives accidentally shot her nephew in the foot. When the police respond to the accidental shooting, Laurie tried to scream for help but Magda went down to the basement and gagged and drugged Laurie so she would stop.
Eventually Laurie, as a result of the sexual abuse gave birth to a baby but she wasn't allowed to keep it because it was a boy and John made a rule to have no boys over. After her son was taken away, Laurie became devastated and could not stop crying and the Plaskys abandoned her near a stadium, confident her story wouldn't be believed. When the hospital Magda worked in closed, she and John Plasky moved to New York where she began working in another hospital and John became the superintendent in their new apartment. John and Magda then use their red van to kidnap a thirteen-year old girl named Celia Barber, while she was riding her bicycle with her father. Afterwards, Barber was put in a dungeon in the basement of their apartment building and forced to call John and Magda her parents.
During her captivity, Barber was repeatedly raped by John and as a result became pregnant. When she gave birth, John Plasky allowed her to keep the baby because it was a girl. Two years later, Barber got pregnant again and gave birth to another baby but she wasn't allowed to keep it because it was a boy. Magda then abandoned the child on the steps of a church, not far away from the hospital where she worked. Unfortunately, this brought the Plaskys in the attention of SVU after Barber was revealed to be the mother and they began to look into her disappearance.
When SVU detectives Nick Amaro and Amanda Rollins investigate, they question Magda and she eventually confesses. They then get her to take them and detectives Olivia Benson and Odafin Tutuola to their basement where they rescue Barber and her daughter. The detectives then make Magda call John to lure him to them but she, while speaking a different language, notifies John that the police are there and warns him to run but Amaro is able to capture and arrest him. After confessing, John shows no remorse in his crimes and tells them that he was Laurie and Barber's whole world and that they will never forget him. Disgusted, Amaro tells the officers to take him away. He is currently in prison for two counts of kidnapping and multiple counts of rape against Laurie and Barber. (SVU: "Child's Welfare")
