Bay Space cop charged with masturbating in front of family during domestic violence call

A Bay Space police officer has been charged with masturbating in entrance of a family that referred to as police throughout a fraught home violence call.

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

An unidentified particular person whose household put a home violence restraining order against him had allegedly violated the order and was on the household’s home, in line with a statement of info supplied by the District Legal professional’s Office.

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

Dominguez started the investigation by talking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took interest in her and continued to work together almost completely along with her,” the statement read.

After she gave the officer a attainable location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the opposite two officers to conduct the search. Whereas he “milled across the house,” in response to the statement, “he managed to maintain the daughter in view of his Body Worn Camera.”

The daughter then asked 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 mother 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 mother a glass of water. Dominguez allegedly followed her into the kitchen.

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

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

When Mr. A returned into the kitchen, he “saw Officer Dominguez going through out of the kitchen with his erect penis in his left hand and his right hand on the counter.” Mr. A left the house; a few minutes minutes later, Dominguez allegedly left and went again to work.

“The charged conduct 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 isn't the first misconduct incident inside 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 depart following the incident, the District Legal professional’s Office stated. His arraignment is scheduled for June 22.
