I honestly don't think the Asperger's was a factor here. The "charming" part has to do with the sociopath part. It's why they can lure victims in so easily. The trouble with this guy was that his severe neediness along with outrageous expectations about women betrayed him so his "charm," at least with women, was trumped by his "creep" factor. His "charm, however, was good enough to fool the police.
