Biography[]
Past[]
He ran the school with his mentor Frank Catalano in the mid 90's. The two would also treat themselves to the underaged victims in the ring and invited likeminded and influential friends to sex parties. To keep the girls complicit, they would blackmail them with incriminating pictures with the men with a promise to show their families.
Once Catalano was appointed to Bishop, he gave Mulregan the position of Monsignor and would give him complete authority of the school and the ring. Mulregan quickly settled into the leadership role, by enlisting Victor Akintola as a hitman should anyone try to escape and recruiting two corrupt vice detectives to serve as enforcers. Mulregan also blackmailed Father Eugene O'Hannigan with knowledge of the latter's sexual relations with another man to get him to keep quiet.
"Manhattan Transfer"[]
After Cara Guiterez, one of the girls was revealed to be talking with the cops, Mulregan decided to silence her by sending Akintola to inject her with a fatal dose of heroin, she suffered an overdose.
When the body was discovered, he was interviewed by SVU but lied to the detectives that she may have relapsed.
"Unholiest Alliance"[]
Mulregan later dispatched Akintola to kill Nina Kelly, a nun who was trying to help victims escape the ring.
After realizing the cops might be closing in, Mulregan arranged for Akintola to get out of the country by giving him a ticket and alias.
Once the ring was fully exposed, Mulregan attempted to place blame on O'Hannigan after noting he was cooperating with the cops. They also make him a pariah like his cousin but this backfires after O'Hannigan reveals the members of the ring didn't destroy the evidence, but simply buried it. Mulregan's role was revealed and he was ultimately arrested in the church.
He is then imprisoned for life, along with his colleagues.
