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

A Bay Space police officer has been charged with masturbating in front of a household that called police throughout a fraught domestic violence call.

The Santa Clara County District Lawyer’s Workplace has charged Matthew Dominguez, 32, with a misdemeanor indecent exposure 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 against him had allegedly violated the order and was on the household’s house, in accordance with an announcement of info offered by the District Lawyer’s Workplace.

The mother, recognized within the assertion as Ms. S, the father, Mr. A, and their 23-year-old daughter called police. Dominguez and two different officers arrived at the scene, with the former taking the “lead investigative role,” per the assertion.

Dominguez started the investigation by talking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took interest in her and continued to work together almost 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 keeping with the statement, “he managed to keep the daughter in view of his Body Worn Digicam.”

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 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 adopted her into the kitchen.

As he circled to face Ms. S, she “noticed Officer Dominguez’s penis exterior of his pants totally exposed,” the statement 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 dealing with 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 habits is past disturbing,” District Attorney Jeff Rosen stated. “Law enforcement officers reply to our houses to help crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

This isn't the first misconduct incident inside 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 at the scene, KRON reported.

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