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

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 individual whose household put a domestic violence restraining order against him had allegedly violated the order and was at the family’s home, according to a statement of info provided by the District Attorney’s Workplace.

The mother, identified in the statement as Ms. S, the daddy, Mr. A, and their 23-year-old daughter called police. Dominguez and two different officers arrived on the scene, with the previous taking the “lead investigative function,” per the assertion.

Dominguez started the investigation by talking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took interest in her and continued to work together virtually solely with her,” the assertion learn.

After she gave the officer a potential location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the opposite two officers to conduct the search. While he “milled around the home,” in line 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 collectively. 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 “noticed Officer Dominguez’s penis exterior of his pants absolutely uncovered,” the statement learn.

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

“The charged behavior is beyond disturbing,” District Legal professional Jeff Rosen mentioned. “Regulation enforcement officers reply to our homes to assist crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”
