Carmen Trancoso is the horrifically abused Brazllian girlfriend of Drew Lamerly. A film student in New York, the relationship swiftly turned into Trancoso being beaten and raped by Drew, as Candace Lamerly had raised him by practicing on prostitutes.
When she was filing a lawsuit against Drew for the torture she suffered, Drew somehow lured her up in a maid's uniform to the family penthouse. Drew beat and raped her again before pushing her over the balcony into the garden of a neighbor across the street. Personal security Tom Paysen doctored the tapes to give Drew an alibi.
The truth was discovered, and Drew and Candace Lamerly and Paysen were all convicted for their parts in Trancoso's abuse and murder, partly with the assistance of past rape victim Jenny Rochester. (SVU: "Privilege")
