Get a load of this - 27 yr old Reinaldo Prado, a Framingham, MA resident, is accused of sexually assaulting five prostitutes he met online through Craigslist. He’s being held on a 100,000 bail. Apparently, this one too followed somewhat the same MO as Philip Markoff - Contact hookers who advertise on Craigslist, call them to hotel rooms, and assualt and rob them.

If you remember, Philip Markoff (age 22) is also from Massachusetts (Quincy), and he’s now in the slammer for robbing prostitutes and women who offered erotic services on Craigslist - And the murder of NYC motel and masseuse Julissa Brisman at a hotel in Boston (which was actually a botched robbery and assault, same as the other girls).

Reinaldo Prado stands accused of assualting 5 different women in 3 counties. Apparently he went on a crime spree on Jan 24-25, and called his victims to motels in Burlington, Tewksbury and Cambridge.

Are these guys part of some college cult or weirdo group in Massachusetts? Since these crimes cross the state lines, the FBI is involved. And hopefully, they should be able to figure out if there’s more of these nutcases going around targeting women in Massachusetts motels and hotels.
