Bay Space cop charged with masturbating in front of household throughout domestic violence name

A Bay Space police officer has been charged with masturbating in front of a household that referred to as police during a fraught domestic violence call.

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

An unidentified particular person whose family put a home violence restraining order in opposition to him had allegedly violated the order and was at the household’s house, in accordance with a statement of information offered by the District Attorney’s Office.

The mother, recognized in the assertion 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 function,” per the assertion.

Dominguez started the investigation by speaking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took interest in her and continued to work together almost exclusively together with her,” the assertion 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 home,” in accordance with the statement, “he managed to maintain the daughter in view of his Physique Worn Digicam.”

The daughter then requested 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 adopted her into the kitchen.

As he circled to face Ms. S, she “saw Officer Dominguez’s penis exterior of his pants absolutely exposed,” the assertion learn.

The mom and daughter then went to find Mr. A, the father, and they known as an uncle who was close to the scene.

When Mr. A returned into the kitchen, he “saw 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 couple of minutes minutes later, Dominguez allegedly left and went again to work.

“The charged behavior is past disturbing,” District Lawyer Jeff Rosen said. “Legislation enforcement officers respond to our houses to help crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

This is not the first misconduct incident within the previous 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 Lawyer’s Workplace said. His arraignment is scheduled for June 22.
