Biography[]
Johnny D. was born and raised in Canada. As an adult, he moved to the United States, where he started a sex trafficking ring and hired numerous rapists. In 2012, Johnny organized the kidnapping of thirteen-year-old Ariel Thornhill from Canada and sold her to fellow pimp Arthur "Timmer" Jones.
Some time before 2014, Johnny sold one of his rape victims, Ellie Porter, to Angel Perez, another sex trafficker. In 2015, after Super Bowl Sunday, Johnny was found in his lair holding Ariel at gunpoint.
After Sergeant Olivia Benson convinced him, he released Ariel and turned himself in to SVU and the FBI. He was remanded to federal custody without bail for numerous counts of rape, sex-trafficking, kidnapping, and assault. Months later, the State of New York, having a hand in Johnny's arrest, took the case away from the FBI with Johnny being transferred to Rikers Island, then a state trial was held.
He had his enforcer, Selena Cruz, kill Timmer to keep him from testifying, and one of his victims lied on the witness stand, Johnny's new lawyer filed an appeal to reinstate parental rights of a child he fathered with Ellie Porter: Noah, who was under the care of Benson since Ellie's death. Johnny arrogantly asked Benson on how his son was doing.
As most of Johnny's victims, including Ariel, successfully testified against the defendant, several victims in denial caused an outburst which led Johnny to take advantage of the confusion, grab a court officer's and hold her hostage while shooting at the trial judge and another officer.
As Johnny backed out of the courtroom with the hostage officer, Detective Nick Amaro followed him, gun in hand. Both shot each other. Amaro was shot in the knee and liver and was taken to the hospital, which eventually led to his retirement from the NYPD; Johnny, meanwhile, was killed instantly.
With Johnny's death and no other living relatives available at the time, Noah Porter was officially adopted by Benson.
In Season 24, it is revealed he has another son named Connor who was also adopted.
