YMMV / Law & Order: Special Victims Unit S2 E9 "Pixies"

• Harsher in Hindsight: The episode edges into this following some of the recent revelations about USA gymnastics and a number of individual coaches. Turns out the fictional Ilya Korska is pretty tame compared to some real-life Olympic coaches, many of whom were active at the time the episode aired (John Geddert, Artur Akopyan, Mary Lee Tracy, etc.).
  • In the same vein, when discussing the victim's relationship with an older man, the detectives discuss how her extreme gymnastics training made her vulnerable to a predator. In the late 2010s, it came out that Team USA doctor Larry Nassar had been sexually abusing girls for decades, and that he did in fact take advantage of the very vulnerability highlighted in the episode, by positioning himself as the gymnasts' friend and someone who looked out for them (so much so that some of the more supportive coaches, the ones who really did look out for their athletes, perceived him as an ally). And while the fictional victim's relationship with an older sponsor was ostensibly consensual, if a bit creepy, Nassar's actions were decidedly not — he claimed his molestation was medical treatment to keep the girls from realizing they were being abused, even when they felt uncomfortable with it.^note To be more precise, he abused and misused a genuine medical treatment (pelvic floor therapy), regularly performing it even when the patients didn't have the type of injuries that it would actually be indicated for and often doing so in inappropriate circumstances (with the door closed, alone, without gloves, and without obtaining explicit consent first), for his own gratification.
