Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - Amanda Seyfried played a guest-starring role in Season 6
In the episode titled Outcry, of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Season 6, Seyfried played the character of Tandi McCain. She was found in a deserted building. She reports to Benson and Stabler that she had been s*xually assaulted by three army cadets in the building, who left her tied and beaten in the secluded area.
Investigation revealed that the cadets were having a party in a nearby location near the building where she was found, and also learned that Tandi herself attended the party and consumed alcohol even though she was only 16. Stabler began to suspect Tandi's stepfather of the crime.
The case began to get media attention, and the squad later found out that Tandi had gone to a talk show and announced that she was taking the case back. However, the SVU squad was trying to find out if she was lying or she was hiding the truth out of fear.
Furthermore, Captain Cragen decided to take strict action against Tandi for lying to the police.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - Tandi reveals the truth to Benson
The team learned that Tandi was not lying about being assaulted in episode 5 of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Season 6. However, she did hide the identity of the clear culprit. When asked by Benson herself, Tandi revealed that she was not assaulted by army cadets or her stepfather, but by his boss, Mark Tucker. Tucker threatened her with her stepfather's job if she revealed it to anyone, and hence she lied.
Tandi was terrified as her stepfather's job was important for the family, as her mother was pregnant, and they needed money. Therefore, she hid the truth about Tucker. Her confession led to Tucker's arrest. However, he was acquitted in court. Even when her assailant was to walk out from there, Seyfried's character was satisfied as she got the courage to reveal the truth and face her perpetrator.
However, at the end of the episode, Benson and Stabler were approached by a woman who told them that she had been assaulted by Tucker six months earlier, giving the SVU unit another chance to bring the culprit to the stand and get him convicted.
