Haywood, from Brisbane, allegedly broke into Kerr's home in Malibu on October 14 to deliver a letter to the supermodel, prosecutors said. Once inside, he was confronted by a security guard, KTLA reported.
The Brisbane man, who faces up to life in prison if convicted, is scheduled to appear in court later today. Efforts to find a lawyer for Haywood were unsuccessful at time of publication.
Kerr, who lives with her five-year-old son Flynn at the home, was not inside at the time of the incident.
It was the second time in a week that police had been to Kerr's mansion responding to a report of an intruder.
