Olivia Benson is a detective on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, portrayed by Mariska Hargitay.
Benson is the daughter of an abusive, alcoholic mother and an alleged rapist, (though in a later episode it was shown that her mother had probably lied due to the fact that Olivia's father was married with kids). Her partner is Detective Elliot Stabler though at times she is paired of with another member of SVU.
