Bay Area cop charged with masturbating in entrance of household throughout home violence call

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

The Santa Clara County District Attorney’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 towards him had allegedly violated the order and was at the household’s dwelling, based on a press release of information provided by the District Lawyer’s Workplace.

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

Dominguez began the investigation by speaking to the daughter.

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

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

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 mom alleged that Dominguez unzipped his pants and commenced 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 “saw Officer Dominguez’s penis outdoors of his pants totally exposed,” the statement read.

The mother and daughter then went to seek out Mr. A, the father, they usually known as an uncle who was near the scene.

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

“The charged conduct is beyond disturbing,” District Legal professional Jeff Rosen mentioned. “Legislation enforcement officers respond to our houses to help crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

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

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