The father praised neighbors, who recognized the suspect from a wanted poster and about 10 of them held him down until police arrived and arrested him.
“If it was someone else’s child, I would have done the same thing. I would have done it without a doubt. I wouldn’t hesitate,” he said. “We don’t need people walking around, driving, riding their bikes looking for places where they can be predators.”
The father “thanked God” that he wasn’t the one to notice the adult man who “violated” his young daughter.
“Especially when you have a child who has been brutally assaulted, my instinct is that I’m glad I never had to meet this man,” the father said.

Rep. Andrew R. Garbarino, Republican of New York, told Fox News Digital that “protecting the American people” should be the Biden administration’s “number one priority.”
“Because our borders are open, violent criminals will continue to enter our communities and Americans will suffer the consequences,” he said. “What happened to this poor girl sickens me. Unfortunately, she is not the first person to fall victim to criminal immigrant predators who should have been turned away before they even entered this country.”
“No one should have to go through the suffering that she and her family are currently experiencing,” Garbarino said. “Protecting the American people must be our top priority, and that means securing our border, deporting illegal immigrants, and empowering law enforcement to crack down on violent crime.”
“Protecting the American people must be our number one priority…”

New York Young Republican Club President Gavin Wax He told Fox News Digital that the rape of a 13-year-old girl symbolizes the difference between President Biden and former President Trump.
“This week’s tragedy is not the first, and sadly it will not be the last, involving criminal illegal immigrants, many of whom come to this country to cause chaos and commit heinous criminal acts against innocent women and children and law-abiding Americans,” he said.
“This crisis symbolizes the difference between the policies and leadership of Joe Biden and Donald Trump,” Wax said. “We pray for the victims and focus our support and work on restoring ‘America First, America Last’ policies, making citizenship and national sovereignty meaningful again, and removing squatter Joe Biden from the White House and re-electing Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States of America. If we fail to do so, our Constitutional Republic is finished.”
