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

A Bay Area police officer has been charged with masturbating in front of a household that referred to as 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 night 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 family’s dwelling, according to an announcement of details supplied by the District Legal professional’s Workplace.

The mother, recognized within the assertion as Ms. S, the daddy, 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 position,” per the statement.

Dominguez started the investigation by talking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took curiosity in her and continued to work together nearly exclusively along with her,” the statement read.

After she gave the officer a potential location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the other two officers to conduct the search. Whereas he “milled across the home,” in keeping with the statement, “he managed to maintain the daughter in view of his Physique Worn Digicam.”

The daughter then asked 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 started 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 circled to face Ms. S, she “saw Officer Dominguez’s penis outdoors of his pants totally uncovered,” the assertion read.

The mother and daughter then went to seek out Mr. A, the daddy, they usually called an uncle who was close to 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 right hand on the counter.” Mr. A left the house; a few minutes minutes later, Dominguez allegedly left and went again to work.

“The charged behavior is beyond disturbing,” District Legal professional Jeff Rosen said. “Regulation enforcement officers reply to our homes to assist crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”

This is not the primary misconduct incident within 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 on 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.
