Bay Area cop charged with masturbating in front of family throughout home violence name

A Bay Area police officer has been charged with masturbating in front of a household that called 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 exposure after responding to a restraining order call on the evening of April 21.

An unidentified individual whose household put a home violence restraining order in opposition to him had allegedly violated the order and was on the household’s residence, in accordance with a statement of information supplied by the District Lawyer’s Office.

The mother, identified within the assertion as Ms. S, the daddy, 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 position,” per the statement.

Dominguez began the investigation by talking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took interest in her and continued to interact almost completely with her,” the assertion read.

After she gave the officer a potential location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the other two officers to conduct the search. Whereas he “milled across the home,” in accordance 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 mother — went to retrieve together. After Dominguez was handed the monitor, the mom 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 “noticed Officer Dominguez’s penis outdoors of his pants totally uncovered,” the assertion learn.

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

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

“The charged behavior is past disturbing,” District Lawyer Jeff Rosen stated. “Law enforcement officers respond to our homes to assist crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

This isn't 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 through the investigation, tipping off an FBI agent at the scene, KRON reported.

Dominguez is on administrative go away following the incident, the District Lawyer’s Office stated. His arraignment is scheduled for June 22.
