These new charges are added to his initial charges, which included three counts of aggravated rape, two counts of kidnapping, one count of assault with intent to rape, and one count of indecent assault and battery, the New York Post\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/05\/31\/lawyer-matthew-nilo-arrested-for-boston-rape-spree\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 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,\u201d the Suffolk County District Attorney\u2019s Office said in a press release. \u201cThe newly-indicted attacks occurred at the time that Nilo was living in the North End and during the same period as the attacks against women in Charlestown for which Nilo is already charged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nilo would have been about 19 or 20 when the rapes were committed. A DNA sample connected him to the attacks on four women between August 2007 and December 2008 that occurred in the Terminal Street area,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2023\/05\/30\/metro\/suspected-serial-rapist-arrested-years-after-charlestown-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to the Boston Globe<\/a>. He was arrested earlier this month at his home in Weehawken, New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>One of the alleged victims, identifying herself only as Lori, was angry earlier this month when Nilo was released on $500,000 bail. The woman\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12186081\/Furious-alleged-rape-victim-NJ-attorney-Matthew-Nilo-says-hes-flight-risk.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a>\u00a0the Daily Mail that it was \u201cbulls***\u201d for Nilo to be freed. She was seen shaking with anger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe literally hid from cops for 16 years. How is he not a flight risk?\u201d she told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Nilo is accused of raping Lori at gunpoint 16 years ago, leaving her with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-gary-sinise-launches-new-initiative-with-home-depot-founders\/\" title=\"WATCH: Gary Sinise Launches New Initiative With Home Depot Founders\">post-traumatic stress disorder<\/a> and forcing her to go on disability, she told the Mail. Lori is one of four original alleged victims who were between the ages of 23 and 44 when the crimes occurred.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cops came to my house and said they had identified him and they said that he was identified by DNA \u2014 and I was just relieved,\u201d she told the Mail. \u201cI was in disbelief and awe because I didn\u2019t think he was going to get caught. I\u2019ve been waiting for years for him to get arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Law enforcement says they matched Nilo\u2019s DNA to family members who had sent DNA samples to a genealogy database, such as \u201c23 and Me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvestigators never stopped analyzing evidence, collecting information and running down leads in order to bring dangerous offenders to justice,\u201d Suffolk County, Massachusetts District Attorney Kevin Hayden said after Nilo was arrested, <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/matthew-nilo-attorney-arrested-rape-boston\/13327322\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to WABC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Nilo previously lived in Boston\u2019s North End and was identified as a suspect last month using investigative genetic genealogy.
