Bay Space cop charged with masturbating in entrance of household 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 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 call on the night of April 21.

An unidentified individual whose family put a home violence restraining order towards him had allegedly violated the order and was on the family’s residence, based on a statement of information supplied by the District Attorney’s Office.

The mom, 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 on the scene, with the previous taking the “lead investigative position,” per the assertion.

Dominguez started the investigation by talking to the daughter.

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

After she gave the officer a possible location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the other two officers to conduct the search. While he “milled around the dwelling,” in keeping with the assertion, “he managed to keep the daughter in view of his Physique Worn Digicam.”

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 started 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 totally exposed,” the assertion read.

The mom and daughter then went to seek out Mr. A, the daddy, and they called 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 back to work.

“The charged habits is past disturbing,” District Lawyer Jeff Rosen said. “Law enforcement officers reply to our homes to help crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

This is not the first misconduct incident inside 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 on the scene, KRON reported.

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