Attorney Matthew Nilo Faces Additional Charges in String of Boston Sexual Assaults

  • Matthew Nilo, a New Jersey attorney, has been accused of sexually assaulting eight women in Boston between 2007 and 2008.
  • Nilo was initially charged with raping three women and assaulting a fourth, but was recently indicted on charges related to four more victims.
  • Prosecutors allege Nilo followed a similar pattern in attacking women walking alone at night or early morning in Boston's North End.
  • DNA evidence from genealogy databases and drinking glasses linked Nilo to the assaults.
  • Nilo has pleaded not guilty to all charges but remains held on bail as the case proceeds.
