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

A Bay Area police officer has been charged with masturbating in entrance of a family that referred to as police throughout a fraught domestic violence name.

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

An unidentified individual whose household put a domestic violence restraining order against him had allegedly violated the order and was at the family’s home, in keeping with a statement of details offered by the District Attorney’s Workplace.

The mom, identified within the statement as Ms. S, the daddy, Mr. A, and their 23-year-old daughter known as police. Dominguez and two different officers arrived at the scene, with the previous taking the “lead investigative role,” per the assertion.

Dominguez started the investigation by speaking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took interest in her and continued to interact nearly exclusively along with her,” the statement read.

After she gave the officer a possible location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the other two officers to conduct the search. Whereas he “milled around the residence,” in keeping with the statement, “he managed to maintain the daughter in view of his Physique Worn 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 started 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 turned around to face Ms. S, she “saw Officer Dominguez’s penis outside of his pants absolutely exposed,” the assertion learn.

The mom and daughter then went to seek out Mr. A, the daddy, they usually called an uncle who was close to the scene.

When Mr. A returned into the kitchen, he “noticed Officer Dominguez facing out of the kitchen with his erect penis in his left hand and his proper 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 conduct is beyond disturbing,” District Attorney Jeff Rosen stated. “Regulation enforcement officers respond to our houses to help crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

This isn't the primary misconduct incident throughout the past month involving San Jose police. An officer investigating the kidnapping of 3-month-old Brandon Cuellar was allegedly drunk in the course of the investigation, tipping off an FBI agent at the scene, KRON reported.

Dominguez is on administrative leave following the incident, the District Attorney’s Workplace mentioned. His arraignment is scheduled for June 22.
