SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 11 – 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. 

  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)."
