An Instagram video recorded during a rape led to the arrest of a 17-year-oldKenner teenager accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl and recording the incident, Kenner police said. Willie Ingram, of 3009 Phoenix St., was booked with possession of pornography involving a juvenile and first-degree rape, said Lt. Brian McGregor, spokesman for the Kenner Police Department.
Ingram was booked with rape because victims under the age of 13 cannot give legal consent under state law, McGregor said. Detectives also arrested three juveniles in the matter.
The rape occurred Dec. 18 at a Kenner home and involved Ingram and two unidentified boys, ages 13 and 14, according to authorities. Ingram recorded the acts on two videos.
An unidentified 13-year-old girl posted the video on social media. Relatives of the victim contacted police in December after they learned of the video, McGregor said. Detectives opened an investigation and obtained warrants March 21st. Ingram was taken into custody March 31.
Ingram was booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. He was still being held there Thursday in lieu of a $750,000 bond.
The two male juveniles were booked with first-degree rape. The female juvenile was booked with distribution of pornography involving juveniles, McGregor said.
