A 24-year-old Wisconsin man was arrested after a disturbing break-in and attempted assault on an 18-year-old in a home in Northwest D.C.’s Kalorama neighborhood. He also stands accused of trying to get into the White House and another D.C. home that once housed Ivanka Trump.
In her home on Kalorama Road, an 18-year-old awoke in her bed before 3 a.m. Wednesday and found a man in her bedroom, according to court documents. He covered her mouth, held her down and said, “I want to be your boyfriend tonight.”
The victim managed to get away into a bathroom adjoined with her sister’s room, and the man fled the house.
“I thought he was going to rape me,” the victim told detectives, according to court documents.
Hours later, police were called back to the affluent Kalorama neighbor about a man outside a house on Tracy Place, the same house where Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner lived during President Donald Trump’s first administration.
According to court documents, 24-year-old Dontrae Henderson told officers he lived at the home on Tracy Place. Inside the home on a kitchen counter, officers found what’s described as fraudulent paperwork claiming Henderson was the owner of the residence, which last sold for more than $6 million.
Henderson had been barred from that home on Tuesday, according to court documents. The property manager for the house, which is being prepared for sale, called police about an unwelcome person on the property.
When police returned to Tracy Place for Henderson on Wednesday, officers noticed he fits the description of the Kalorama Road intruder, court documents say.
Officers also noted, “Two Secret Service Agents responded to the scene due to the protection level of the owners.” The home was given Secret Service protection when it was rented by Ivanka Trump and her husband, Kushner.
That wasn’t the first time Henderson allegedly tried to get into a Trump residence.
He was arrested May 3 for attempting to enter a restricted area of the White House, claiming he had an interview with Trump. In early August, he was arrested two more times, trying to enter the area in violation of a stay-away order. Court documents say his last arrest there was two hours after he was fitted with an electronic monitoring device.
