According to the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office, Dominguez and two other officers responded on April 21 to a call about a mentally ill family member who was being violent at a San Jose home, and after sending the other officers away to find the person, he touched himself in front of two female family members and exposed himself to the family’s mother.
According to prosecutors, the victims reported the police’s actions to two male relatives nearby, and one of them also watched the officer exposing himself in the home’s dining room. If convicted, he could face up to a year in jail and be placed on a sex offender list for 10 years.
