Bay Area cop charged with masturbating in front of household during domestic violence name

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

The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Workplace has charged Matthew Dominguez, 32, with a misdemeanor indecent exposure after responding to a restraining order name on the night of April 21.

An unidentified particular person whose family put a domestic violence restraining order in opposition to him had allegedly violated the order and was at the household’s home, in accordance with an announcement of information offered by the District Legal professional’s Office.

The mother, recognized in the assertion 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 role,” per the statement.

Dominguez started the investigation by talking to the daughter.

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

After she gave the officer a doable location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the opposite two officers to conduct the search. Whereas he “milled across the house,” in keeping with the statement, “he managed to keep the daughter in view of his Body Worn Camera.”

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 mom alleged that Dominguez unzipped his pants and began 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 outdoors of his pants absolutely exposed,” the statement read.

The mom and daughter then went to find Mr. A, the daddy, they usually known as an uncle who was near the scene.

When Mr. A returned into the kitchen, he “noticed Officer Dominguez going through out of the kitchen along 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. “Law enforcement officers reply to our homes to assist crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

This is not the primary misconduct incident inside the past 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 at the scene, KRON reported.

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