SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 5 – An armed guard forced
a man seeking asylum to put
her mouth on his penis in the
Jacob K. Javits Federal Office
Building in lower Manhattan on
May 4, prosecutors charged him
on May 5.
Jimmy
Solano-Arias was presented
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Magistrate Judge Stewart
D. Aaron on the afternoon of
May 5. Inner City Press was
there, the only media in the
SDNY Mag Court - and reported
it, here, May 5.
Strangely,
the SDNY prosecutors announced
nothing at the time, until
announcing the indictment on
June 5. In the missing month,
were they trying to get the
defendant to plead guilty or
name others?
June 5, SDNY
"announced today that JIMMY
SOLANO-ARIAS, a former armed
security guard at the Jacob K.
Javits Federal Office Building
located at 26 Federal Plaza in
Manhattan, was indicted in
federal court for violating
the constitutional rights of
an asylum seeker (the
“Victim”) by forcing the
Victim, through the threat of
death or serious bodily
injury, to perform oral sex on
SOLANO-ARIAS while inside a
locked office in 26 Federal
Plaza. SOLANO-ARIAS was
arrested and charged by
Complaint on May 5,
2023. The case is
assigned to U.S. District
Judge Paul G. Gardephe."
Solano-Arias is paid to as an
armed guard at 26 Federal
Plaza. The Victim, who is a
native Spanish speaker, went
to submit an application for
asylum. The complaint, not
initially public on PACER,
says Solano-Arias asked "if
the Victim was by himself or
with family."
The Victim
was taken into a utility
closet; Solano-Arias "pulled
out his penis and said 'take
my milk out.'" The Victim
managed to take a video.
Nevertheless,
the prosecutors agreed to
Solano-Arias' release on
$175,000 unsecured bond, with
travel to New Jersey.
On May 11, the
prosecutors wrote back in,
belatedly, to ask for a
condition that Solano-Arias no
longer enter 26 Federal Plaza.
It was granted: "ORDER
granting [5] LETTER MOTION
requested modification of bail
conditions re: [5] LETTER
MOTION addressed to Magistrate
Judge Stewart D. Aaron from
Lindsey Keenan dated May 11,
2023, re: requested
modification of bail
conditions, as to Jimmy
Solano-Arias (1). Request
GRANTED. SO ORDERED. (Signed
by Magistrate Judge Stewart D.
Aaron on 5/11/2023)."
