NEW YORK CITY — A 25-year-old man who raped a 13-year-old girl in a Queens park last week confessed to authorities that he filmed the attack after his arrest.

According to the report, the videotaped statement was played before a judge in Queens Criminal Court on Wednesday.

According to the public prosecutor’s office, Inga is accused of rape, sexual abuse, kidnapping and robbery, among other things.

If convicted on the main charge, Inga faces a maximum sentence of 25 years to life imprisonment, according to the report.

A 13-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl were in Kissena Park in Flushing around 3:30 p.m. on June 13 when they were approached by Inga, police said.

The man then pulled out a knife and dragged the 13-year-olds into a forest, where he took their cell phones and tied them up, police said.

Inga then raped the girl before fleeing the scene, police said.

According to online court records, Inga is being held without bail. His next court date is July 1.
