Bay Space cop charged with masturbating in front of household during home violence call

A Bay Space police officer has been charged with masturbating in entrance of a family that known as police during a fraught domestic violence name.

The Santa Clara County District Legal professional’s Workplace 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 particular person whose household put a home violence restraining order in opposition to him had allegedly violated the order and was at the family’s residence, in keeping with a press release of details supplied by the District Legal professional’s Office.

The mom, identified 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 previous taking the “lead investigative role,” per the assertion.

Dominguez began the investigation by talking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took interest in her and continued to work together virtually exclusively along with her,” the assertion read.

After she gave the officer a possible location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the other two officers to conduct the search. Whereas he “milled around the residence,” in line with the statement, “he managed to maintain the daughter in view of his Physique 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 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 “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, and so they called an uncle who was close to the scene.

When Mr. A returned into the kitchen, he “noticed Officer Dominguez dealing with 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 reply to our properties to help crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

This is not 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 during the investigation, tipping off an FBI agent at the scene, KRON reported.

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