The guard allegedly led the asylum-seeker to a locked office and forced him to perform oral sex.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.A former armed security guard at a federal building in Manhattan has been accused of sexually assaulting an asylum-seeker, federal prosecutors said Monday.
At the time, Solano-Arias was working for a company contracted to provide armed security at the Jacob L. Javits Federal Office Building, which houses several federal agencies including the Department of Homeland Security as well as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. That’s when Solano-Arias allegedly led the victim to the second floor of the building and into a locked office and demanded that he perform oral sex on him. When the victim attempted to resist, Solano-Arias touched his firearm, which was holstered on his waist, federal authorities alleged. Fearing for his safety, the asylum-seeker performed oral sex on Solano-Arias, officials said.
Murad Awawdeh, executive director for the New York Immigration Coalition, called the alleged conduct “morally reprehensible on every level.”
