Overview of the Incident
Former Metro Nashville police officer Sean Herman was arrested due to his participation in an OnlyFans video while on duty, leading to charges of felony official misconduct. The arrest followed after the video, in which Herman appeared in full police uniform, surfaced online, showcasing him engaging in unprofessional behavior.
Details of the Misconduct
The incident, which took place on April 26, features Herman, who was serving as a patrol officer in the Madison area of Nashville, improperly touching a woman. In the video, he can be seen groping the woman’s breast as he introduces himself as "Officer Johnson." Although he was initially uncertain about being on duty, the clear visibility of his uniform and squad car in the footage confirmed his official status during the incident.
Consequences and Department Response
Following the emergence of the video titled "Can't believe he didn't arrest me," posted by an individual named Jordin, Nashville Police Chief John Drake instructed a thorough continuation of the investigation. The department swiftly terminated Herman, who had been with the force for three years and was on a "Last Chance" agreement due to previous misconduct. This prior arrangement accelerated his firing upon confirmation of his latest misconduct.
Legal and Departmental Actions
Herman faced swift legal repercussions with his bond set at $3,000 following his indictment on two counts of felony official misconduct. The Nashville Police Department has reaffirmed its commitment to a thorough investigation and to taking appropriate actions to maintain the integrity of the force.
