Man convicted of multiple crimes in New Orleans, district attorney says

NEW ORLEANS ( WGNO ) — The Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office reports that a “serial offender” has been convicted of several crimes in New Orleans.

According to the District Attorney’s Office, a jury convicted Navarri Henderson of first-degree rape, aggravated kidnapping, second-degree robbery and domestic abuse battery against a pregnant woman on Friday, Aug. 23.

The district attorney’s office reported that Henderson was also facing an additional charge of first-degree rape, aggravated kidnapping and obstruction of justice but was found not guilty on those charges.

Court documents state Henderson attacked and raped a woman who was jogging near the levee in Algiers in 2016 and assaulted another woman in Algiers in 2018.

The district attorney’s office reported that those cases were not solved until Henderson was arrested in 2019 after allegedly breaking the jaw of his pregnant girlfriend.

Court documents state that DNA collected after his arrest connected him to the 2016 and 2018 crimes.

According to the district attorney’s office, “These were not isolated incidents but part of a dangerous pattern of predatory behavior that threatened the safety of the entire community.”
