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.
