Matthew Nilo, of New Jersey, was ordered held on $500,000 bail after he pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Monday to aggravated rape and other charges connected to four attacks in Boston’s Charlestown neighborhood in 2007 and 2008.
about 15 years ago was ordered held on $500,000 bail Monday during a hearing in which a prosecutor said authorities helped tie him to the attacks by getting DNA from a drinking glass he had used.
The first two victims, who were both 23 years old when they were attacked, had been at bars in downtown Boston. One woman accepted a ride from a man she thought she knew and who offered to help her look for her car, but instead he drove her to Charlestown and raped her, Feigenbaum said. A 36-year-old woman who was panhandling was also raped by a man who offered her money if she got in the car with him, the prosecutor said.
That identified Nilo as a person of interest. During a corporate event earlier this year, the FBI recovered utensils and drinking glasses the defendant used, authorities said. They obtained DNA from his glass that matched the DNA from the three rape victims and was a likely match to the DNA from the glove, prosecutors said."I do understand that the procedures used by law enforcement are somewhat suspect," he said outside of court Monday.
