Bay Area cop charged with masturbating in entrance of family throughout domestic violence call

A Bay Area police officer has been charged with masturbating in front of a household that known as police throughout a fraught home violence name.

The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Workplace 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 individual whose household put a home violence restraining order against him had allegedly violated the order and was at the family’s house, in line with an announcement of details provided by the District Lawyer’s Workplace.

The mother, identified in the assertion as Ms. S, the daddy, Mr. A, and their 23-year-old daughter referred to as 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 solely together with her,” the statement learn.

After she gave the officer a attainable location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the opposite two officers to conduct the search. Whereas he “milled around the residence,” in line with the assertion, “he managed to maintain the daughter in view of his Physique Worn Digital camera.”

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 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 fully exposed,” the assertion read.

The mother and daughter then went to search out 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 facing out of the kitchen 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 again to work.

“The charged habits is beyond disturbing,” District Attorney Jeff Rosen mentioned. “Law enforcement officers respond to our properties to help crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

This is not the primary misconduct incident within the past 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 at the scene, KRON reported.

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