Serial offenders, he said, tend to “keep offending until they get caught,” even if they have “cooling periods” in between offenses, either because they think authorities are on their trail or because they might simply be busy with “other relationships that are preoccupying them.”
“But when push comes to shove … these urges, they don’t go away,” Mohandie said.
The suspect pleads not guilty
Mohandie emphasizes that Nilo is innocent until proven guilty in court. He is profiling any criminal suspect when he says that leading a double life is not uncommon.
“Mr. Nilo denies all the allegations, including the latest charges,” his attorney, Joseph Cataldo, said. “You can expect both a legal and factual challenge to the government’s case.”
“I think they’re trying to solve some unresolved cases, and I’m afraid that the government might be piling on, just trying to claim that Mr. Nilo committed these crimes,” Cataldo said. And the district attorney’s office was “piling on.”
Earlier this year, at a corporate event, Nilo’s DNA was taken from a drinking glass he used to make the match. Police did not get a warrant for the DNA. Cataldo questioned the constitutionality of how the DNA evidence was obtained and collected.
