The masturbating cop “became interested” in a young woman during a response: lawyers

The California cop, who is alleged to have masturbated during a riot incident, is “interested” in the 23-year-old sister of a “violent” man against whom the family has a restraining order, prosecutors said.

San Jose police officer Matthew Dominguez, 32, is said to have “touched” the woman and her mother at their home on April 21 before exposing himself to the elderly woman, according to the Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office.

The depraved scene is described in detail in a document of evidence published by prosecutors in connection with the arrest of Dominguez on Thursday for indecent exposure.

Dominguez and two other cops responded at a home where a “mentally ill family member was abusing” his parents and sister, who had a restraining order against the suspect, prosecutors said.

The four-year-old veteran began his investigation by talking to his sister, who told him where she could potentially find her brother, officials said.

The alleged perverted cop then “became interested in her and continued to interact almost exclusively with her” while he sent his partners to look for his brother, according to prosecutors who quoted his camera footage.

About 40 minutes after the investigation, the woman gave the GPS device to her brother Dominguez in the presence of her mother, officials said.

The women then “saw Officer Dominguez unbutton his trousers, zip his hand and start rubbing his crotch,” according to the document.

When the mother asked her daughter to get a glass of water, Dominguez followed her daughter into the kitchen and turned to [her mother, who] he saw policeman Dominguez’s penis completely naked outside his pants, prosecutors said.

Men, relatives of the “shocked and frightened” victims, then told Dominguez to other officials at the scene, according to the story.

Dominguez has been released on administrative leave and could face up to a year in prison and ten years on a list of sex offenders if convicted, authorities said.

“The accused’s behavior is beyond embarrassing,” said District Attorney Jeff Rosen. “Law enforcement officers are responding in our homes to help victims of crime, not terrorizing, traumatizing and creating new victims.
