When questioned, Dominque reveals that Hayes raped her after having lured her into his massage parlor.
- He goes to SVU and attempts to discredit Dominique by saying that she was the one who raped him in his spa and blackmailed him into going along with it, otherwise she would claim he assaulted her. He pretends he is traumatized by this and has not been able to touch anyone since it happened, claiming SVU will not treat him seriously as a victim, completely mocking not just Dominique but other sexual assault victims in the process.
- In addition to Dominique, six of his other victims come forward to SVU revealing that Hayes had raped them, being traumatized by what he had done.

What Prevents Him From Being Pure Evil?[]
- He suffers from Fridge Horror as while it's incredibly likely and implied he has numerous other victims, it is not confirmed and he fails the heinous standards to child rapists like Bob Clinton who have less resources than him.
