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

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 Attorney’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 family put a home violence restraining order against him had allegedly violated the order and was at the household’s dwelling, in keeping with a statement of facts offered by the District Legal professional’s Office.

The mom, recognized in the statement as Ms. S, the father, Mr. A, and their 23-year-old daughter called police. Dominguez and two different officers arrived on the scene, with the previous taking the “lead investigative role,” per the assertion.

Dominguez began the investigation by speaking to the daughter.

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

After she gave the officer a possible location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the opposite two officers to conduct the search. While he “milled around the house,” in response to the statement, “he managed to keep the daughter in view of his Body Worn Digicam.”

The daughter then asked Dominguez about her brother’s GPS monitor, which they — and Ms. S, the mom — went to retrieve collectively. After Dominguez was handed the monitor, the mom alleged that Dominguez unzipped his pants and began rubbing his crotch. The daughter additionally 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 circled to face Ms. S, she “saw Officer Dominguez’s penis outdoors of his pants absolutely exposed,” the statement read.

The mom and daughter then went to seek out Mr. A, the father, and they referred to as an uncle who was near the scene.

When Mr. A returned into the kitchen, he “noticed Officer Dominguez facing out of the kitchen along with his erect penis in his left hand and his right 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 Legal professional Jeff Rosen mentioned. “Regulation enforcement officers reply to our houses to assist crime victims, not terrorize, traumatize, and create new victims.”
