Benjamin Alex Dinarte, 32, was arrested on Friday, June 20, and charged with rape, abduction, object sexual penetration, and burglary, according to the Prince William County Police Department.
The disturbing attack occurred shortly before 7 a.m. at The Fairmont by Barclay House, located on Fairmont Avenue in Manassas.
Dinarte walked into an 85-year-old resident’s private room after entering the building through an unprotected rear door, according to police.
He allegedly sexually assaulted the victim before personnel intervened.
Employees at the facility restrained the man until authorities came, who then arrested him without incident.
According to police, the woman received treatment at a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
Dinarte is now held without bond. His court date is still pending.
