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

A Bay Space police officer has been charged with masturbating in entrance of a family that referred to as police during a fraught home violence call.

The Santa Clara County District Lawyer’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 household put a domestic violence restraining order towards him had allegedly violated the order and was on the household’s dwelling, in response to an announcement of facts supplied by the District Legal professional’s Office.

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

Dominguez began the investigation by speaking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took curiosity in her and continued to interact virtually solely along with her,” the assertion learn.

After she gave the officer a potential location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the other two officers to conduct the search. While he “milled across the house,” in accordance with the statement, “he managed to maintain 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 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 outside of his pants fully uncovered,” the statement learn.

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

When Mr. A returned into the kitchen, he “noticed Officer Dominguez dealing with out of the kitchen along 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 said. “Legislation enforcement officers reply to our houses to assist crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

This isn't the first misconduct incident inside the previous 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 on the scene, KRON reported.

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