Nashville cop is given slap on the wrist after filming explicit sex video while wearing his uniform
A police officer who was caught on camera groping a woman's breasts during a raunchy skit while wearing his uniform has pleaded no contest - and will walk away with just probation. Sean Herman, a former officer with the Metro Nashville Police Department in Tennessee, entered the plea to felony official misconduct this week in connection with his May 2024 arrest. As part of the deal, Herman was sentenced to a year of supervised probation. He also had his Peace Officer Standards and Training certification suspended in August 2024. Herman was originally fired and criminally charged after detectives identified him as the man in a Metro Nashville police uniform in the explicit video, which showed him taking part in a mock traffic stop with a female driver who exposed her breasts. Investigators say the clip was filmed on April 26, 2024, in a Madison-area warehouse parking lot - while Herman was on duty as a patrol officer. He had been employed by the department for three years prior to his firing and arrest. The scandal broke when police discovered the clip on OnlyFans, posted by creator Jordin and titled 'Can't believe he didn't arrest me.' Herman's cover was blown when his department patch was visible on camera, even though his face never appeared. The video begins with Jordin sitting in the driver's seat, joking with a passenger about being pulled over. 'I'm not going to get a ticket… I'm going to show him my t**s,' she said. Herman, identifying himself as 'Officer Johnson of PD,' told her she was speeding 65mph in a 45 zone. When she admitted she didn't have her license, she flashed her breasts. 'Ma'am, it's 2024. I can see t**s on the internet any time,' Herman replied. 'Well, what if you touched them?' Jordin countered - and Herman agreed, reaching in to grope her breasts before grabbing his own genitals through his pants. He said he would let her off with a warning and walks away, much to the surprise of Jordin's passenger. While Herman had his hands at the car window, there was a brief second where just enough of the MNPD patch was visible to identify it. That was all police needed to investigate and identify Herman. Police Chief John Drake ordered the investigation to continue even after Herman's firing, which led to his indictment and $3,000 bond. 'That was one of the most outrageous, disrespectful acts that a person here could do and, by disrespectful, I mean to all the MNPD employees and this agency,' the department said at the time. In an interview with OutKick published last May, Jordin explained how the controversial video came about. 'I met the officer a while back in person for a few moments and one day he saw me on my Reddit and reached out about potentially filming a full video at some point in the future. In the meantime I had an idea to do a 'fake' traffic stop where I'd flash him to get out of a ticket,' Jordin told OutKick. She said the clip wasn't originally intended for OnlyFans but as a promotional stunt. 'The video was only to be used for promo/clickbait on Twitter and other socials to bring eyes to my platform. Obviously we've all wondered if flashing cops would get us out of tickets right? Every guy/girl has joked about it, so I thought it'd be funny/playful.' Asked if there was more footage, Jordin told OutKick: 'No, the clip is all we have. We took one additional photo after at his request but it's clothed and safe for viewing eyes.' She later told OutKick that she removed the clip from public platforms and now plans to sell it on her OnlyFans, with all proceeds going to Herman to help him get back on his feet. Jordin also revealed she paid him a month's salary after his termination and hopes the proceeds from the clip will provide additional support. She said she took the video down once she realized it was being reported to police. 'Unfortunately it was too late at that point. I had metro detectives actually show up to ask questions about the incident. These were when, where, why type questions.' Jordin believes the attention it gained on Twitter put it on law enforcement's radar. 'I'm under the impression that the local media turned it in to the department. I do believe that it was from my Twitter. The video was sitting at 2 million views at that point and had been retweeted 5,500 times so it's safe to assume that was the culprit.' She also defended Herman's character. 'I do want to make it clearly known that he's a very respectful guy, very polite, and wasn't an officer that would've fit a profile that many are lumping him into.' Although she isn't sure what Herman will do next, Jordin suggested he has the looks and demeanor to thrive if he ever chose to enter the adult content world. 'I certainly think he'd do very well based on his overall physical stature/figure and demeanor. He's a very nice guy.' As for herself, Jordin told OutKick she's noticed a 'noticeable uptick' in subscribers since the scandal, with fans requesting the video.

Report: The most dangerous cities in the US
Advertisement The five most dangerous cities in the United States have been revealed, with a surprising Southern city named as number one. Memphis, Tennessee , has been ranked as America's most dangerous city in a report by US News and World Report, as its unemployment rate remains higher than average and household median incomes sit more than $26,000 below the national average. The report determined the city's danger levels based on 'each city's murder and property crime rates per 100,000 people' obtained through FBI crime reports. Memphis has a crime rate of 112.9 per one thousand residents in a typical year, according to Neighborhood Scout. The chances of becoming a victim of a crime in west Memphis neighborhoods is one in seven, and one in 40 in the southeast. The Memphis Police Department Chief C.J Davis said in a news conference in July that overall crime was down 20 percent year-to-date, WREG-TV reported. 'With six months left in 2025, I'm convinced we are on the right track,' Davis said at the time. FBI crime statistics have reported that violent crime has dropped nationwide over the last two years. Last year, it was reported to have fallen by 4.5 percent and property crime saw an 8.1 percent drop from the year before. Murder rates saw an 11.6 percent decrease in 2023, the largest single year drop on record, the FBI report stated. A recent poll, however, showed that 77 percent of Americans believe crime is on the rise. Following Memphis as the second most dangerous city is Oakland, California, which was recently called out by the president for its rampant crime. According to the City of Oakland, it has a crime rate of 135.68 per one thousand residents. Trump, while announcing the government's deployment of the National Guard to Washington DC, specifically named many major US cities for their criminal reputations. Oakland, according to Trump, is 'so far gone', yet the Oakland Police Department announced a 28 percent drop in crime in the first six months of 2025. In Oakland, police reported a double-digit decrease in reports of aggravated assaults, rapes and robberies, as well as fewer reports of certain property crimes, including a 46 percent decrease in auto thefts. According to the most recent data, the city saw 41 homicides this year compared to 54 last year, a 24 percent decrease. Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee responded to the president with a blunt statement that said: 'President Trump is wrong.' Lee noted the city's falling crime rates and said Trump's remarks were 'not grounded in facts, but in fear mongering,' East Bay Times reported. 'This is not leadership - it's an attempt to score cheap political points by tearing down communities he doesn't understand,' Lee added. Officials fear that should Trump deploy the National Guard to the area, as he has announced for DC, that it would exacerbate already existing crime and incite protests across the state. Carl Chan, an Oakland Chinatown leader, told the East Bay Times that a takeover such as that would be 'disastrous' for the city. 'If they send the National Guard to take over, there will be tons of protests within the city,' Chan said. 'We don't want to go from one extreme to another.' Typically, the National Guard is used for extreme cases, such as natural disasters or in times of extreme protests or riots. Oakland officials have said the city's drop in crime is due to its violence-intervention strategy. Robberies saw a 41 percent decrease, reported burglaries were down 25 percent, and violent crime as a whole was down by 29 percent. 'Our work is far from done,' Lee said, the outlet reported. 'We're going to keep building on this progress with the same comprehensive approach that got us here.' The third most dangerous city ranked by the US News and World Report was St. Louis, Missouri. According to Neighborhood Scout, the city has a crime rate of 77.9 per one thousand residents. Earlier this year, the St Louis Police Department and Mayor Tishaura Jones also celebrated decreasing crime rates. From 2021 to 2024, murders fell from 202 to 150 and aggravated assaults decreased by 24 percent, property crime dropped by 11 percent and 'society' crimes such as drug violations decreased by 15 percent, the St. Louis Magazine reported. By March, the city saw a historic decrease in crime through January and February. The mayor's office said that the 2024 crime period was the fewest homicides in 11 years. St Louis saw a 36 percent decrease in burglaries, a 42 percent drop in auto thefts and a 53 percent decrease in shooting incidents, KMOV St. Louis reported. Jones said: 'One life affected by violent crime is one too many, which is why it is extremely encouraging to see the amount of violent crime continue to drastically drop in St. Louis. 'We have more work to do, but violent crime is on the retreat in St. Louis, and I am incredibly thankful to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, the Circuit Attorney's Office, the Office of Violence Prevention, and all the community organizations and residents who do so much to make St. Louis safer.' Police Chief Robert Tracy said homicides were down by 50 percent compared to the same time as last year, which more than 90 percent a result of gun violence. 'Too many people carrying firearms, poor conflict resolution skills and they're known to each other,' Tracy said. 'We continue the strategies to see what works and when it works we continue to do it. If it doesn't, finding out where it's going wrong and readjust. You have to do that with community engagement and technology. When you bring that together you start to see some of the success we're having.' The next spot was grabbed by Baltimore, Maryland, as the fourth most dangerous city in the United States. Baltimore, which also took a personal call out by the president over crime rates, has reportedly had a steady drop in homicide rates since 2021, falling from 344 to 200 last year. It has a crime rate of 58.77 per one thousand residents, Neighborhood Scout said. This year, the city has tracked only 84 killings so far, the Baltimore Banner reported. Baltimore, however, is also struggling economically. Its house values sit $159,823 below the national average of $370,489, according to the US News and World Report rankings. The job market has equally struggled with its unemployment rate matching the national average of 4.5 percent. The median household income, however, sits more than $21,000 below the national average of $79,466. Lastly, fifth place was taken by Detroit, Michigan, a city largely renowned for its crime and one that was also targeted by the president. According to Neighborhood Scout, the city has a 1 in 15 chance of becoming a victim of either a violent or property crime and a crime rate of 66.34 per one thousand

However, Detroit Police Chief James White told NBC News: 'That's simply not true. I invite him to walk the streets of Detroit, and I'd be more than happy to do that with him and show him how Detroit is performing.' In 2024, Detroit recorded 252 homicides which has been the lowest number since 1966. Non-fatal shootings dropped by 18 percent in 2023 and car-jackings decreased by a third.
