The incident, which occurred in a park in Queens, has been attributed to Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, an illegal immigrant from Ecuador. The father, whose identity has been kept confidential by The New York Post to protect his daughter, expressed his anguish, stating, "This is what happens" when undocumented immigrants are allowed to enter the US without proper checks.
According to The New York Post, the father, aged 70, has always been opposed to the open border policy, which he believes "just invites a lot of things that we don’t need." He added, "And look what came in. Look what happened to my daughter."

Inga-Landi, 25, crossed the Texas border in 2021 and was ordered to leave the country by a New York City immigration judge last February. However, he remained in the country and was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly forcing the girl and a teenage boy into a wooded area of Kessina Park at knifepoint on June 13. He is accused of tying and gagging them, and raping the girl in broad daylight.

The father also expressed his gratitude towards the good Samaritans who subdued the suspect and held him for the police. "I would have done the same thing if it was someone else’s child . . . I definitely would have. No hesitation," he said. "You don’t need someone like that walking around, driving around, biking around, looking for spots where he can be a predator."
