In a chilling incident in Oregon, a mother found herself facing an intruder while holding her infant and playing with her toddler. The man, described as having “messed up teeth” and wearing a hoodie, brazenly entered her home and declared, “honey, I’m here.” This terrifying encounter unfolded while her husband was just outside working in the yard.

The frightening episode began when the man, identified as Judson Defir, allegedly grabbed the mother, who was cradling her 10-month-old, and forcibly pulled her from one room to another, according to an arrest affidavit reported by Law&Crime. The affidavit details how Defir dragged her into a guest bedroom, where he attempted to assault her.

Once inside the bedroom, Defir reportedly forced the mother onto the bed, pressing down on her back and hips. Despite the assault, the mother clung tightly to her baby. The pressure from Defir’s actions caused her to press down on her child, an affidavit states, describing the harrowing ordeal.

In a bid to protect her child from harm, the mother pleaded with Defir to allow her to place the baby safely in a crib. Defir momentarily ceased his attack, granting her the chance to move her infant to another bedroom. Seizing the opportunity, the mother then returned to the original room, where she and her 3-year-old son took refuge.

Thinking quickly, she barricaded the door with a bookshelf in hopes of keeping Defir out, as described in the police report. Despite his attempts to break into the room, the mother managed to step out onto the balcony, where she screamed for help, successfully alerting her husband to the dire situation.

“The male attempted to force his way into the room,” the affidavit recounts. “[The mother] walked onto the balcony and started yelling for help, alerting her husband.”

The woman later reported to police that her husband was outside “doing yard work” while she was in an upstairs bedroom with her two children, holding the baby while playing with the 3-year-old. She allegedly heard Defir walk in through the front door and heard footsteps coming up the stairs, but thought it was her husband.

“She heard a male voice say, ‘Honey, I’m here,’” the affidavit says. “She realized it was not her husband’s voice and then saw an unknown male [Defir] at the threshold of the bedroom door.”

The mother told police Defir allegedly had “messy hair, a messy beard, messed up teeth” and was wearing a black hoodie and dark colored pants. “She reported he smelled dirty, like unwashed body odor,” according to the affidavit.

After alerting her husband to what was going on, police say he and multiple people from a nearby church ran over to help, but Defir had already fled the residence.

Portland police were called and dispatched to the family’s home, where they found the mother “sobbing uncontrollably,” per the affidavit. She was yelling out repeatedly that Defir “tried to rape her,” according to cops.

Officers canvassed the scene and allegedly found Defir in the area being followed by approximately 15 people who were pointing at him and shouting. The 43-year-old was taken into custody, with police saying he allegedly told a female officer, “Wanna f—? You’re hot,” according to the affidavit.

That same day, Defir allegedly attacked at least three other women, including one in the nearby church and two strangers he passed by on the street.

“Responding officers determined that minutes before this attack [on the mother], the suspect entered a nearby church where he touched a woman inappropriately before fleeing,” a police press release says. “In addition to these two incidents, the male is suspected of grabbing two other women who were walking in the neighborhood.”

Defir claimed in interviews with police that he “smoked meth that morning and then went to church and had pancakes,” according to the affidavit. He allegedly said that after church, he entered a nearby house and that there was a woman inside with two kids.

“Defir said the woman screamed and that as he tried to get past the woman, she dropped one of the babies,” according to the affidavit. “He said that he accidentally bumped into the woman and almost considered jumping from the second floor to get out of there.”

Defir allegedly told police he left the mother’s house and people started randomly following him. He claimed he was trying to get away from them when cops arrested him, according to the affidavit.

Defir was arraigned Monday on charges of first-degree attempted rape, kidnapping and burglary. He is also charged with a probation violation related to an indecent exposure case.

According to The Oregonian, Defir was arrested in 2024 for screaming at two girls at a park and lying naked in a driveway while intoxicated. He was ordered held without bail on Monday, with a detention hearing scheduled to take place Wednesday.
