A Las Vegas man is accused of stalking, kidnapping, and threatening to rape and kill his ex-girlfriend after she broke up with him, according to an arrest report.




James Henderson, 20, is facing charges of felony aggravated stalking and kidnapping.



The victim and her family were woken up on Oct. 18 around 1 a.m. to Henderson banging on the door of their home, one hour after a temporary protective order against him expired, according to the report.


Henderson also began sending the victim threatening messages including, “You in my house by Oct. 28 and you have to sleep with me or else I’m going to kill you,” “F—ing tell me that you love me b—- or I’m going to kill you tonight,” and “If you don’t answer me I’m going to make sure everybody in your family is dead by this weekend,” the report said.


Henderson also threatened to rape the victim and sent her a picture of him sticking his tongue out over text messages, the report said.


The victim met Henderson on a social media app around April and began dating him a few months later. In August, Henderson showed up “un-invited” to the victim’s place of work, the report said. She said she never gave him the address and did not know how he got it.


They had been dating for about three weeks when Henderson took the victim out to lunch on Sept. 1. She said when she got in his car, he started telling her “he wanted to start a family with her,” and when the victim said she was not ready to have children, he became angry, started screaming at her, and was driving erratically, the report said.


Henderson told the victim that if she ever left him, he would kill himself, pulled out a handgun, and threatened to shoot himself, according to the report.


The victim tried to get out of the car but Henderson put her into a chokehold. She was able to get out of it and run to a nearby restaurant before Henderson drove up to her, put the gun under his chin, and told her to get back into the car or he would shoot himself, the report said.


He continued to harass the woman, writing Spanish slurs on the door of her apartment and leaving the woman handwritten letters in Spanish.


The woman showed police messages Henderson would send her, saying things like, “I will make them kill your mother and brother. I will shoot 200 rounds of bullets in your living room.”


He would also make fake accounts to contact her online, even when she blocked him, and would contact the woman over 50 times from a blocked number.


Henderson was ultimately arrested on October 26 and is currently held at the Clark County Detention Center on $200,000 bail.
