Matthew Dominguez, a San Jose police officer accused of masturbating at the family home, was on domestic disturbance charges

A police officer accused of masturbating in a California home responded to a domestic disturbance call. and not only touched in front of the family’s 23-year-old daughter, but also showed his genitals to the young woman’s mother, according to a newly released incident report.

Matthew Dominguez, 32, was arrested Thursday and charged with one charge of indecent exposure, a misdemeanor. Dominguez, a four-year veteran with the San Jose Police Department, was placed on administrative leave following the alleged incident.

“The alleged conduct is beyond troubling,” Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said in a statement. “Law enforcement officers are responding to our homes to help victims of crime, not terrorize, traumatize and create new victims.”

The charges against Dominguez can be traced back to the evening of April 21, when police were dispatched to a home in San Jose around 6:30 p.m. The couple who live there, identified in the incident report as “Ms. S”, “Mr. A.”, told officers that their son, who suffers from a mental illness, violated a protection order they had issued against him. Her daughter, who is not named in the report, was also at home — and Dominguez, who “took the lead role in the investigation, also took an interest in her,” the report said.

Dominguez “continued to interact almost exclusively with her,” it said. She told Dominguez her brother left the house but gave him an idea of ​​where he might be. Dominguez directed the other two officers to search for the son, who had previously been in the home and removed a GPS tracking device before leaving. Dominguez stayed behind and “walked around the house,” the report said.

About 40 minutes later, the daughter asked Dominguez what to do with her brother’s GPS monitor. He called for her to get it and, according to the report, followed her along with Ms S.

“At that point, they were in the transition area between the dining room and the kitchen,” it continues. “The daughter handed the GPS device to Officer Dominguez, who took it with his right hand. While talking on the GPS device, Ms. S saw Officer Dominguez unzip his pants, put his hand inside his zipper and start rubbing his crotch. At the same time, the daughter saw him rubbing his crotch area.”

Apparently stunned, Ms S asked her daughter to get her a glass of water, which the young woman mistakenly gave Dominguez. Ms. S. asked her daughter for another glass, and Dominguez followed her into the kitchen, the report said. When Dominguez turned back, Ms. S. saw “Officer Dominguez’s penis fully exposed outside of his pants.”

The “shocked and frightened” women immediately left the house and informed Mr. A. about the incident. The daughter also called her uncle, who lived nearby. Meanwhile, Mr. A ran in to see what was going on and spotted Dominguez “looking out of the kitchen with his erect penis in his left hand and his right hand on the counter,” the report said. “Officer Dominguez made eye contact with Mr. A., who immediately turned and left the house.”

Two minutes later, Dominguez left the house and went back to work. Mr. A. and the uncle then told the other two officers, who had meanwhile returned to the apartment, what they had seen.

Dominguez was escorted out of a San Jose police facility on Thursday by Chief Anthony Mata, who posted a video of the event on YouTube.

“I will not make excuses for criminal behavior from a police officer,” Mata said in a statement. “We are and should be held to the highest standards. That’s what the public expects of us and what I expect of the men and women who serve and protect San Jose.”

If convicted, Dominguez faces a year in prison and 10 years on the sex offender register.
