Lori Pinkham, the first alleged victim in the case against Boston rape suspect Matthew Nilo, has condemned Nilo’s release on bail days after coming forward about the alleged 2007 attack in an exclusive interview with ABC News.
“I’m in disbelief that he is back on the streets and also fear he will try and retaliate against me,” Pinkham said in a statement.
“I kept thinking, ‘Is this a nightmare? I’m gonna wake up. This is a nightmare. I’m gonna wake up,'" Pinkham said.Pinkham alleges the suspect then stole all of her belongings, including her passport, Social Security card, debit card and credit cards. She says she laid on the train tracks in shock for around four hours before the sun came up and spotted someone down the street who let her use their phone to call 911.
“It’s heartbreaking,” Pinkham’s mom, Janine McGovern, told ABC News. “I feel like there’s a part of her that didn’t get to continue her life, you know? So she didn’t finish growing up to become a woman with a career and a family. But for me, I didn’t get to see her grow up. I kind of lost her at a young age.”
