Noah Porter-Benson

**Noah Porter-Benson** is the adoptive son of Captain Olivia Benson and the biological son of Ellie Porter and Johnny Drake.

## History

He was conceived when Johnny Drake raped Ellie before selling her off. At the time, Ellie was unaware of who fathered her child and gave birth to Noah while working for a pimp named Augustino Aguilar (aka "Little Tino"), who let her keep the baby as long as she kept working for him. When she overdosed, Aguilar sold Noah to a child pornography producer couple. When Ellie recovered, Aguilar told her that Noah had died, so she never filed a missing persons report. Noah was discovered by Benson and Rollins on January 22, 2014 in the motel room of child pornographers Alexa and Roger Pearson, who were on the run. After a few days of media coverage on all of the children at the Pearson's house, no one showed up to claim him, and he was called "Baby Boy Doe" as no one knew his real name.

After finding out that Noah has one living relative, his grandmother, Sheila Porter, Olivia let Sheila see Noah and wanted her to be part of his life. At first, Olivia didn't trust Sheila, but they became more trustworthy of one another. In 2018, Sheila betrayed Noah and Olivia and kidnapped Noah because she wanted Olivia to give up Noah. When Olivia eventually found Sheila, Sheila held Olivia at gunpoint and demanded that she give Noah up. When Noah entered the room, Sheila hid the gun and Noah hugged Olivia. Sheila then burst into tears and was arrested for kidnapping. As a result, Noah started having nightmares, but eventually grew out of them.

While Benson and Noah were walking from their Mothers Day lunch, Benson and Noah ran into Stabler while he was buying flowers. Benson then introduced Noah to Stabler but Noah told Benson that he already knew who Stabler was. Stabler then asked Noah what he was planning on doing today and Noah told Stabler that he was going to do whatever Benson wanted to do and then suggested ice cream. Benson then got a text message before Benson asked Stabler if he worked with Officer Jessie Santos to which Stabler responded that he did. Benson then told Stabler that she will call him when she can before walking away with Noah. (SVU: "Did You Believe In Miracles?")

In Christmas 2022, Noah discovered that he had a half-brother named Connor McCann who was the second son of Johnny Drake. Noah then asked Benson if they could meet with Connor and his family for Christmas to which Benson eventually agrees to. When Noah and Benson arrive at the McCann's home, the McCann's act welcoming towards Noah and Noah seemed ecstatic to meet his brother. After Benson and Noah finished eating dinner, Noah asked Benson if he could stay the night to which Benson and the McCann's agreed to. That same night, Benson discovered a hidden camera in her motel room and called Rollins for assistance while the McCann's kept Noah over. After the second night at the McCann's, Connor gave Noah his Christmas present which was a PlayStation five and Connor gave Benson a present aswell.

While Noah and Benson were walking home one night, Benson spotted BX9 gang members across the street. Benson then told Noah to go inside with the building manager and to call the police. Benson then confronted the gang members where she ended up getting run over and beaten. Benson then managed to shoot a gang member which Noah witnessed. Benson then yelled at Noah to go back inside before the gang members escaped. After the attack, Benson asked Fin to drive Noah to Connor's house until she catches Oscar Papa. Before Fin drove Noah up, Noah told Benson that he wants to stay with her. Benson managed to convince him to go before Fin drove him up.
