Bay Area cop charged with masturbating in entrance of household during home violence call

A Bay Space police officer has been charged with masturbating in entrance of a family that called 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 night of April 21.

An unidentified individual whose family put a domestic violence restraining order in opposition to him had allegedly violated the order and was on the family’s residence, in response to a statement of info offered by the District Legal professional’s Workplace.

The mom, recognized in 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 former taking the “lead investigative role,” per the assertion.

Dominguez began the investigation by speaking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took interest in her and continued to interact virtually completely together with her,” the statement read.

After she gave the officer a potential location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the opposite two officers to conduct the search. While he “milled across the home,” in keeping with the assertion, “he managed to maintain the daughter in view of his Body Worn Digicam.”

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 mother a glass of water. Dominguez allegedly adopted her into the kitchen.

As he circled to face Ms. S, she “saw Officer Dominguez’s penis outdoors of his pants absolutely exposed,” the assertion read.

The mom and daughter then went to seek out Mr. A, the father, and so they referred to as an uncle who was close to the scene.

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

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

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

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