Bay Space cop charged with masturbating in front of family throughout home violence call

A Bay Space police officer has been charged with masturbating in front of a family that referred to as police throughout a fraught domestic 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 name on the evening of April 21.

An unidentified particular person whose family put a home violence restraining order in opposition to him had allegedly violated the order and was at the family’s home, based on a statement of facts supplied by the District Attorney’s Workplace.

The mom, recognized within the assertion as Ms. S, the father, 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 talking to the daughter.

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

After she gave the officer a possible location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the opposite two officers to conduct the search. Whereas he “milled around the home,” in accordance with the assertion, “he managed to maintain 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 mother — went to retrieve collectively. After Dominguez was handed the monitor, the mom 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 mother a glass of water. Dominguez allegedly adopted her into the kitchen.

As he rotated to face Ms. S, she “saw Officer Dominguez’s penis exterior of his pants absolutely uncovered,” the assertion learn.

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

When Mr. A returned into the kitchen, he “saw Officer Dominguez going through 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 again to work.

“The charged behavior is past disturbing,” District Lawyer Jeff Rosen said. “Law enforcement officers respond to our houses to assist crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

This isn't the primary misconduct incident throughout 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 at the scene, KRON reported.

Dominguez is on administrative go away following the incident, the District Lawyer’s Office mentioned. His arraignment is scheduled for June 22.
