Suspected serial rapist Matthew Nilo now accused of attacking 8 women

The New Jersey lawyer accused of being a serial rapist is being charged with five more sex attacks — including two just days apart on the same woman.

Matthew Nilo, 35, was indicted by a grand jury Tuesday on seven charges connected to alleged rapes and sexual attacks in Boston’s North End area in 2007 and 2008, according to the Boston Herald.

The Weehawken-based cyber crimes lawyer — who lived in Boston at the time — had already been charged with raping three women and trying to rape a fourth after allegedly being tied by DNA from a drinking glass.

The latest charges — including rape and aggravated rape — mean he is now accused of attacking eight different women.

All of the attacks were in 2007 and 2008 — when the Boston Latin School graduate would have been only 19 or 20.

The latest charges involve two attacks on the same woman just 11 days apart, Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden’s office said.

“The incidents followed a similar pattern. The victims were attacked while they were walking alone, in the dark, either at night or early in the morning,” the DA’s office said in a statement.

In the earlier crimes, the assailant had used a gun and threatened to kill his victims, an initial court hearing was told. In one case, the attacker showed that victim a knife, prosecutors said.

One of the victims, Lori Pinkham, came forward to talk about her ordeal — telling “Good Morning America” that “Every day, I lived in fear.”

Nilo became a suspect in the cold-case sex attacks after emerging as a potential suspect when DNA from the initial attacks was linked to online genealogy records, officials said earlier this month.

He was then matched after the FBI recovered utensils and drinking glasses from a corporate event he attended earlier this year, prosecutors told his initial hearing.

Similar evidence — and help from the FBI — was behind the latest charges, too.

“We will release more information at arraignment, but I can tell you today that DNA evidence played a role in these new indictments,” DA Hayden told the Boston Globe.

He was taken into custody May 30 in an FBI sting in which he was lured out of the luxury harbor side apartment he shared with his fiancé, Laura Griffin, with the claim that a package had been delivered that was too big to fit in the swanky facility’s lockers.

Nilo pleaded not guilty earlier this month to initial charges of aggravated rape, kidnapping, assault with attempt to rape and indecent assault and battery. He was supported by fiancée Laura Griffin, who clutched rosary beads with a cross attached while in court.

The accused serial rapist was freed on $500,000 bail — a decision a victim of one of his alleged gunpoint rapes called “bulls–t” t

Nilo will be formally charged on the new counts at his next court appearance on July 13, officials said. They are one count of rape, one count of aggravated rape, three counts of assault with intent to rape, and two counts of indecent assault and battery.

“Mr. Nilo denies all the allegations including the latest charges,” his attorney, Joseph Cataldo, told the Boston Globe late Tuesday. 

“You can expect both a legal and factual challenge to the government’s case.”
