Yes, it's based on the tragic case of David Reimer. The Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode is called "Identity" - it's from season 6 (2005).
Unlike the fictional victim/perpetrator, David Reimer didn't get to enact a cathartic revenge on his mutilators. He committed suicide in 2004.
All circumcisions 'go wrong', though David Reimer suffered a much greater deformity and loss of function than most victims of this kind of societally accepted sexual mutilation. Most victims can still pass for a semi-functional male (at least until the gradual sensitivity loss becomes so great that they need Viagra).
