San Jose Police Officer Matthew Dominguez was arrested this past week for masturbating in front of a mother and her daughter while in uniform inside a home in response to a call. If you're shaking your head thinking that Cop Blaster is not a reliable news outlet, watch the video embedded below this article or click the source link above the map. Despite being walked out the front door by his boss on camera for all the press to see as an example of accountability, he remains on paid administrative leave.
We would like to thank San Jose Police Chief Joseph Mata for taking prompt action in this case despite the disturbing news that Dominguez will continue to collect a paycheck. We believe that Matta took care of the most important things here which were to put Dominguez in jail and take his police powers away. We hope that the legislative body most capable of stopping the next Dominguez from getting a paycheck under these circumstances takes swift action.
Dominguez's own union has turned against him. San Jose Police Officers Association President Sean Pritchard released a statement saying, "I am absolutely disgusted by this repugnant allegation that damages the reputation of our profession... If this is true, the individual must be held accountable and he should never be allowed to be a police officer ever again."
The San Jose Police Department has neither released any body camera footage of this incident nor have they provided any explanation as to why. The mainstream media is not asking questions about this. We all know how close the mainstream media is with the police. We think the public has a right to know and we demand to see the body cam footage.
According to public records, Matthew Dominguez was born on February 12, 1990 making him 32 years old. His last known address is 150 Palm Valley Blvd., Apt. 2103, San Jose, California. We are making his address publicly available because he is charged with a sex crime that carries with it a requirement that he register as a sex offender for 10 years if convicted. We exempt officers from address censorship in extreme cases such as being charged with a sexually based offense. We recommend that people living nearby lock up their wives and daughters, but ask that nobody commit any crimes against Dominguez because doing so could jeopardize our ability to continue to improve public safety by warning of dangerous officers in specific locations. If convicted and sent to jail he will probably get what is coming to him, so nobody in society should feel the need to do anything illegal to him.
We would like to thank a specific defense attorney for this tip, but are not sure if she would want to be thanked publicly by name on this site.
UPDATE: We just tracked down a statement of facts written by the prosecutor's office (https://countyda.sccgov.org/sites/g/files/exjcpb1121/files/documents/Dominguez%20Statement%20of%20Facts%20-%20Copy.pdf). Transcribed below:
On April 21, 2022 at approximately 6:30 p.m., San Jose Police were called to investigate a violation of a Domestic Violence Restraining Order naming a family member as the restrained party. The officers were equipped with Body Worn Cameras that were activated. The Protective Order in question protected the Mother (Ms. S.), Father (Mr. A.) and Daughter from their son/brother. Officer Dominguez and two colleagues responded to the call. Officer Dominguez took the lead investigative role.
Officer Dominguez began by speaking with the family's 23-year-old daughter. Officer Dominguez took interest in her and continued to interact almost exclusively with her. She gave Officer Dominguez her brothers potential location, which prompted Officer Dominguez to direct the other two officers to leave and attempt to locate the brother.
Although Officer Dominguez milled around the home, he managed to keep the daughter in view of his Body Worn Camera. Approximately 40 minutes into the investigation, the daughter asked Officer Dominguez what she should do with her brothers GPS monitor. When she went to retrieve the GPS monitor, Officer Dominguez followed her. Ms. S. joined them. At this point they were in the transition area between the dining room and kitchen. The daughter handed the GPS unit to Officer Dominguez, who took it with his right hand. While she was discussing the GPS unit, Ms. S. saw Officer Dominguez unzip his pants, place his hand inside his zipper and began rubbing his crotch. Simultaneously, the daughter saw him rubbing his crotch area.
Ms. S. asked her daughter to get her a glass of water, which the daughter mistakenly offered to Officer Dominguez. Ms. S. asked her daughter for another glass of water, Officer Dominguez followed the daughter into the kitchen and turned around to face Ms. S. Ms. S. saw Officer Dominguez's penis outside of his pants fully exposed. Ms. S. and her daughter left the house and called for Mr. A. The daughter also called her uncle, who was nearby, and told him what happened. Ms. S. and the daughter told Mr. A. what happened and he ran into the house.
Mr. A. looked into the kitchen and saw Officer Dominguez facing out of the kitchen with his erect peins in his left hand and his right hand on the counter. Officer Dominguez made eye contact with Mr. A., who promptly turned around and left the house. Two minutes later, Officer Dominguez walked out of the kitchen, out of the house, and went back to work.
Meanwhile Mr. A. and the daughters Uncle reported Officer Dominguez's actions to the other officers on scene.
