Lauren Westley is a once-pregnant teenager who was repeatedly denied abortions by Dr. Lett because the clinic was a sham. As a result, while under duress, she had her boyfriend, Wayne Mortens, the baby's father, beat her womb with a baseball bat to abort the fetus, which was successful.

Her father, Phillip Westley, insisted she was raped, but when the truth came out, Arthur Branch insisted both teens be prosecuted. Casey Novak was more in the couple's favor, so she precedence in the proceeds for the defense to have more valid arguments. The teenagers were acquitted, and Lett was arrested for facilitating the crude abortion. (SVU: "Rockabye")
