NJ lawyer and fiancée face court over Boston rape spree.

Accused rapist lawyer Matthew Nilo appeared in a New Jersey court for an extradition hearing in connection to a string of Boston rapes that occurred 15-plus years ago. Nilo was supported by his fiancée Laura Griffin, who he proposed to just weeks before his arrest. He has been charged with multiple counts of rape, kidnapping, assault, and battery. Nilo was identified through genetic genealogy, and his employment as a cyber claims lawyer with Cowbell insurance firm has been suspended. He waived his rights to an extradition hearing in New Jersey and will be extradited to Boston for his arraignment.

NJ Attorney Arrested for Boston Rape Spree Through DNA Analysis

New Jersey lawyer Matthew J. Nilo has been arrested in connection with a series of decade-old rapes in Boston after forensic genealogy linked him to the crime spree. Nilo has been charged with 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 in connection with the attacks on four women in the Terminal Street area between August 2007 and December 2008. Nilo was identified as a suspect last month through investigative genetic genealogy, which combines DNA technology with historical record searches to generate new suspects in cold cases.
