Noah Porter-Benson is the biological son of Ellie Porter and sex trafficker Johnny Drake and the adoptive son of Olivia Benson. He is also the younger half-brother of fellow adoptee Connor McCann.
In April 2024, Noah secretly goes through his adoption paperwork without permission and learns who his father is. Afterwards, his mother tells him the origins of his birth, finally learning who his birth parents really were.
Background[]
He was conceived when Johnny D. 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 Little Tino, who let her keep the baby as long as she kept working. When she accidentally overdosed, Tino sold Noah to a child pornography producer couple. When Ellie recovered, Tino told her that Noah was dead and she never filed a missing persons report as a result.

Trivia[]
- Noah was first played by twins Bradley and Skyler Dubow (mostly by Bradley), then by Jack Nawada-Braunwart and he is now currently played by Ryan Buggle.
- Noah has the highest episode count for any recurring character on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, surpassing Ryan O'Halloran.
- Noah is the youngest recurring LGBTQIA+ character in the Law & Order franchise. He is revealed to be bisexual in Burning With Rage Forever
- Having changed his hobby from baseball to dance was the actor's idea to correspond to his real-life hobby
- Noah was found as an infant baby in Wednesday's Child on January 22, 2014. But, by January 2, 2023, the show aged him up to be 11 years old, changing the year he was born in to be in 2011 instead. Most likely due to Noah's current actor now being a teenager.
