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

A Bay Space police officer has been charged with masturbating in entrance of a family that called police throughout a fraught domestic 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 particular person whose household put a home violence restraining order in opposition to him had allegedly violated the order and was at the household’s house, in accordance with an announcement of details provided by the District Lawyer’s Office.

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

Dominguez began the investigation by talking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took curiosity in her and continued to work together virtually completely along with her,” the assertion 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 keep 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 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 turned around to face Ms. S, she “noticed Officer Dominguez’s penis exterior of his pants absolutely uncovered,” the statement read.

The mom and daughter then went to search out Mr. A, the daddy, and so they known as an uncle who was close to the scene.

When Mr. A returned into the kitchen, he “noticed Officer Dominguez facing out of the kitchen together with his erect penis in his left hand and his proper 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 behavior is beyond disturbing,” District Lawyer Jeff Rosen said. “Legislation enforcement officers reply to our properties to assist crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

This isn't the primary misconduct incident throughout 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 go away following the incident, the District Lawyer’s Office stated. His arraignment is scheduled for June 22.
