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

A Bay Space police officer has been charged with masturbating in entrance of a household that called police during a fraught home violence name.

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 individual whose family put a home violence restraining order against him had allegedly violated the order and was at the family’s dwelling, in line with a press release of information supplied by the District Lawyer’s Workplace.

The mother, recognized in the statement as Ms. S, the father, Mr. A, and their 23-year-old daughter known as police. Dominguez and two other officers arrived at the scene, with the former taking the “lead investigative position,” per the statement.

Dominguez began the investigation by talking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took curiosity in her and continued to interact nearly exclusively with her,” the statement learn.

After she gave the officer a doable location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the opposite two officers to conduct the search. While he “milled around the dwelling,” in response to the assertion, “he managed to keep the daughter in view of his Body Worn Digicam.”

The daughter then asked Dominguez about her brother’s GPS monitor, which they — and Ms. S, the mother — went to retrieve collectively. 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 circled 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 they called an uncle who was close to the scene.

When Mr. A returned into the kitchen, he “saw Officer Dominguez going through out of the kitchen along 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 conduct is beyond disturbing,” District Attorney Jeff Rosen mentioned. “Law enforcement officers reply to our houses to assist crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

This is not the first misconduct incident throughout the previous 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 leave following the incident, the District Legal professional’s Workplace mentioned. His arraignment is scheduled for June 22.
