Bay Space cop charged with masturbating in entrance of family throughout domestic violence call

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

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 individual whose family put a domestic violence restraining order in opposition to him had allegedly violated the order and was on the household’s residence, in keeping with an announcement of facts supplied by the District Lawyer’s Office.

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

Dominguez began the investigation by speaking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took interest in her and continued to interact almost solely together with her,” the statement read.

After she gave the officer a doable location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the other two officers to conduct the search. While he “milled around the residence,” in keeping with the assertion, “he managed to keep the daughter in view of his Physique Worn Digital camera.”

The daughter then asked Dominguez about her brother’s GPS monitor, which they — and Ms. S, the mom — 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 mom a glass of water. Dominguez allegedly followed her into the kitchen.

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

The mom and daughter then went to find Mr. A, the father, and they referred to as an uncle who was close to 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 right hand on the counter.” Mr. A left the house; a couple of minutes minutes later, Dominguez allegedly left and went back to work.

“The charged behavior is past disturbing,” District Lawyer Jeff Rosen said. “Regulation enforcement officers reply to our houses to help 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 during the investigation, tipping off an FBI agent on the scene, KRON reported.

Dominguez is on administrative leave following the incident, the District Legal professional’s Office stated. His arraignment is scheduled for June 22.
