Hilda Marsden

Hilda Marsden was a judge in the Manhattan Family Court. In her career, she had a reputation for handing down harsh sentences to minor juvenile offenders as a pretense to have them sent away to serve hard time at a facility for sex offenders in Wellsburg, Ohio. The political pundits loved her, viewing her as a corrective to out-of-control kids, but her sentencing brought up serious questions about her judgment, especially after she decided to sentence Kim Garnet to Wellsburg in 2009, for supposed distribution of child pornography for sending nude pictures of herself to her boyfriend.
Following her rendering of this decision, Detective Olivia Benson and Garnet's attorney, Miranda Pond, decided to look at Marsden's records, but were stonewalled by the senior clerk at the Family Court records department, who was receiving kickbacks from Marsden. Benson and Pond were locked up on trumped-up charges, but were released thanks to the efforts of Counselor Samantha Copeland, who had discovered that Marsden's penchant for sending juvenile offenders to Wellsburg was due to her receiving kickbacks from the owners of that facility for every body they received. The Special Victims Unit thus staged a sting, wherein Detective Elliot Stabler met with Marsden in the guise of Mr. Sirota, the supposed parent of a girl whose boyfriend, Pauly Catalano, had totaled a car, and asked the judge to make sure the boy went down hard, then gave the judge a "donation" for her re-election campaign.
When the trial came, Marsden sentenced Catalano (actually Kim's Ethan Morse) to Wellsburg, and the SVU closed in on her. She was promptly disbarred and all of her decisions have been overturned, subject to review. Kim was set free by another judge who overturned her conviction and erased it from her records. (SVU: "Crush") Her last words while being arrested was her vocalizing her defense that she was giving harsh judgements because the other judges were too weak to do so, while preceding to insult everyone who was in the room of being weak themselves.
