Biography[]
Harris is the captain of the guards at the Sealville Corrections Facility. He uses his position to rape several female prisoners, including Risa Tyler; he also rapes Risa's teenage daughter Ashley. Harris pretends to be a police officer to get her rape kit, to avoid having his DNA being identified. Finally, he strangles her to death and makes it look like she hanged herself in her cell.
Detective Olivia Benson of the NYPD's Special Victims Unit goes undercover to Sealview as an inmate to find out the identity of the rapist. However, she almost ends up being raped herself when Harris takes her down to the facility's basement and attacks her. When she fights back, he tries to force her to give him oral sex, until Detective Fin Tutuola, who is also undercover as a prison guard, subdues him. The detectives then arrest Harris for rape and the attempted murder of a police officer.
Benson interrogates Harris and insinuates that he hates women because he is secretly attracted to men; Harris angrily tells her to shut up. Sealview's warden hires an attorney to represent Harris, and he gets the charges dropped on the grounds that Harris was unaware that Benson was a police officer.
Harris' luck runs out, however, after Ashley identifies a mole on his penis, which Benson also saw when he attacked her. Her identification provides probable cause for Benson and her partner, Detective Elliot Stabler, to get a warrant to arrest Harris for rape and attempted murder. He is ultimately sentenced to life imprisonment.
