Bay Space cop charged with masturbating in front of family throughout home violence call

A Bay Area police officer has been charged with masturbating in front of a household that known as police during a fraught home violence call.

The Santa Clara County District Lawyer’s Workplace has charged Matthew Dominguez, 32, with a misdemeanor indecent exposure after responding to a restraining order name on the night of April 21.

An unidentified individual whose family put a home violence restraining order towards him had allegedly violated the order and was on the household’s residence, in line with a statement of information provided by the District Attorney’s Workplace.

The mom, identified in the assertion as Ms. S, the father, Mr. A, and their 23-year-old daughter known as police. Dominguez and two other officers arrived on the scene, with the former taking the “lead investigative role,” per the assertion.

Dominguez began the investigation by talking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took curiosity in her and continued to interact virtually solely along with her,” the assertion read.

After she gave the officer a possible location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the opposite two officers to conduct the search. Whereas he “milled around the home,” in line with the statement, “he managed to maintain the daughter in view of his Body Worn Digicam.”

The daughter then requested Dominguez about her brother’s GPS monitor, which they — and Ms. S, the mother — went to retrieve together. After Dominguez was handed the monitor, the mom alleged that Dominguez unzipped his pants and began rubbing his crotch. The daughter also allegedly witnessed this.

Later, the daughter went into the kitchen to get her mom a glass of water. Dominguez allegedly followed her into the kitchen.

As he turned around to face Ms. S, she “noticed Officer Dominguez’s penis outside of his pants totally uncovered,” the assertion read.

The mother and daughter then went to search out Mr. A, the daddy, and so they referred to as an uncle who was near the scene.

When Mr. A returned into the kitchen, he “noticed Officer Dominguez dealing with out of the kitchen with his erect penis in his left hand and his proper hand on the counter.” Mr. A left the home; a few minutes minutes later, Dominguez allegedly left and went back to work.

“The charged behavior is beyond disturbing,” District Legal professional Jeff Rosen said. “Legislation enforcement officers reply to our houses to assist crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

This is not the first misconduct incident within the past month involving San Jose police. An officer investigating the kidnapping of 3-month-old Brandon Cuellar was allegedly drunk through the investigation, tipping off an FBI agent at the scene, KRON reported.

Dominguez is on administrative go away following the incident, the District Legal professional’s Workplace said. His arraignment is scheduled for June 22.
