Matthew Nilo’s Fiancée Revealed
Laura Griffin is the woman who is engaged to Matthew Nilo. She prefers to maintain her privacy and does not often appear in the media or on social media, so there is limited information available about her personal life.
Her occupation is unknown, and it is also unclear when exactly they started dαting. However, some deleted social media posts revealed that Nilo proposed to her shortly before his arrest.

Nilo, a lawyer from Boston, Massachusetts, is facing accusations of rαpe. According to Fox News, he obtained a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a law degree from the University of San Francisco. This information was previously available on his LinkedIn profile, which has now been removed.
After completing his studies, Nilo worked at several law firms, including Clyde & Co. in San Francisco, Atheria Law in New York City, and Cowbell Cyber in New York.
However, Cowbell Cyber has confirmed that Nilo was employed with them but has since been “suspended pending further investigation,” as stated in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.
“Matthew Nilo was an employee of Cowbell and was hired in January, 2023, after passing our background check,” the firm said. “Mr. Nilo’s employment at Cowbell has been suspended pending further investigation.”

Where is Matthew Nilo Now?
The disgraced lawyer was arrested on June 1, 2023, after DNA proof connected him to a series of rαpes that happened in Boston between 2007 and 2008.
The Boston Globe says that on June 5, he went to Suffolk Superior Court and pleaded not guilty to three counts of aggravated rαpe, two counts of kidnapping, one count of assault with the plan to rαpe, and one count of indecent assault and battery.
The news source says that at the hearing, his fiancee was seen holding a rosary with a cross on it while her face was “expressionless.”
WCVB says that Nilo’s bail was set at $500,000 and that he will go back to court on June 12 for a bail review meeting.
The outlet says that if Nilo is freed, he will have to wear a GPS tracker, give up his passport, not talk to the victims, and stay 1000 feet away from Terminal Street in Charlestown unless he is with his lawyer. Joseph Cataldo, who also defended Michelle Carter in 2017, is Nilo’s defense attorney.
