Kim Greylek is a fictional character on the NBC crime drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, portrayed by Michaela McManus.

Character overview

Kim Greylek transfers to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office in a lateral move from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women in Washington, D.C. Greylek is assigned to the Special Victims Unit as a permanent replacement of ADA Casey Novak (Diane Neal), who after the events that occurred in "Cold", has been censured. In D.C. Greylek is nicknamed "The Crusader", where she has dealt "with the policy making side of sex crimes" and moves to Manhattan's SVU "to make a difference".

Character within SVU

Introduced in the tenth season premiere episode "Trials", Greylek maintains an unrelenting reputation unpopular with the detectives; she threatens to charge a defendant with a hate crime for raping two women and has a teenage boy charged with assaulting a police officer so he can be tested for HIV. Further, her hands-on approach in accompanying the detectives is at odds with Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) who does not believe he is able to do his job with Greylek looking over his shoulder.
