No jail for ex-cop accused of groping woman in OnlyFans video
Aug. 18 (UPI) -- A former Nashville police officer avoided jail time after he was accused of groping an OnlyFans model's breast during a promotional video while on duty in 2024.
Sean Herman, 35, on Thursday changed his plea to no contest from not guilty on two counts of misconduct, a Class E felony, in Nashville's Criminal Court. He was sentenced to one year of supervised probation and judicial diversion, which allows the case to be dismissed and charges cleared if he successfully completes probation.
He was arrested on June 13, 2034, at his home in Sumner County, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said.
Herman appeared in the video in a warehouse while he was on duty on the evening of April 26, police said.
Herman, who was a Nashville Metro officer for three years, was fired on May 9, one day after an investigation by the agency's Specialized Investigation Division identified him as the person wearing a full uniform in a mock traffic stop video with a model named Jordin.
In the skit, Jordin was pulled over, exposed her breasts and offered the officer to grab them to avoid being ticketed. She then grabbed the officer's crotch area in the groping.
His face wasn't visible but his police patch was briefly shown.
Herman was arrested on June 13, 2024, and released from the Davidson County Jail on $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.
Jordin told the Law & Crime Network in March the video was only intended to be used on her X account and wasn't X-rated. She said the officer responded to a post on Reddit.

Former FBI Agents Are Exposing The Wildest Secrets They Can Reveal Without Killing Us, And Holy Crap
As an avid Criminal Minds-watcher, I've always wondered what it was actually like to work as an FBI agent. A while back, Reddit user mr_squirell asked, "FBI/CIA agents of Reddit, what's something that you can tell us without killing us?" Here's what they said: Note: Obviously we can't confirm all of these stories, but these people are supposedly speaking from their own experiences as alleged government employees. 1."I worked with a woman who was a former NSA. We would always beg her to tell us stuff, but she never did. The one thing she did say, though, was that during training, they show them a video of a bunch of things they've found out about and stopped. She said she hardly slept for two weeks after watching that." —jseego 2."My dad worked for GCHQ in the '80s doing voice recognition, and he can't say anything more for another decade. The technology used that lets Siri and Alexa recognize you today was also being used in the '80s... Just a bit slower..." —arabidopsis Related: 3."I was an analyst, not an agent/officer. 85% of all classified material is classified because of how it was collected, not because it is juicy/useful. Yes, your boss and co-workers said that stuff about you." —ben70 4."We are all told never to use sites like Reddit. Social media in general is pretty much a no-go." —Throwaway93ee90299 5."An ex-Company man once told me that the movie Get Smart was more accurate than James Bond." —spiff2268 6."I talked with some CIA recruiters towards the end of college and almost applied earnestly after a large group Q&A and then a much smaller one. The thing that stuck out to me was that the guys said most CIA agents are out of shape and have limited combat training with guns or hand-to-hand. They made it clear that it's the military that uses force. If confronted, they were trained to immediately surrender or to drop their bags and run if possible." —dring157 Related: 7."If you go through the FBI interview process, it takes a while. Chances are, you're going to have to spend some time working on crimes against children, which is really tough, and most people don't want to do it." —thermobollocks 8."My dad worked for the government, and he told me that any time he had a meaningful interaction with someone who wasn't American (i.e. going over to my friend's house for Lunar New Year or going on vacation to Canada), he had to report it all, and if he saw anything suspicious." —AudiKitty "Yep. I went through a clearance upgrade and got asked about a couple of people that I know through friends who I didn't include on my paperwork and if I knew their background." —derpyfox 9."I worked with the Australian Federal police with the spider squad doing 'computer stuff' for them in regards to pedophiles and finding trafficking victims. It was the most heartbreaking work, but when you got the pedophiles, the office looked like NASA after a Mars landing." —dr_m_a_dman "I don't know if I'm allowed to say, but a mentor who definitely wasn't supposed to tell me used to be a white hat for the FBI. Apparently, all he did was search for pedophiles by tracking child sexual abuse images. He said he didn't stay for very long because it was messing with his mental health." —mastershow05 10."My spouse is an FBI agent. One of the things they had to do at the FBI Academy was go to the Holocaust Memorial Museum in DC. The lesson was what can happen if you blindly follow orders without ever questioning the morality/intent behind them. I found that pretty compelling, and I was glad to hear that it's part of their training." —bukunothing Related: 11."Not an FBI or CIA officer, but my sister is a district attorney, and over the years, she has prosecuted a number of animal-cruelty cases. This led to her having an ongoing partnership with the FBI for the last several years. It turns out the FBI started tracking animal abuse cases about 10-15 years ago due to the incredibly high correlation between abusing animals when you're young and becoming a serial violent offender as an adult." —TheDongerNeedsFood 12."I have a relative who retired from the NSA a few years ago. She has talked about a few things in generalities, nothing specific. Among them: Alcoholism in general is rife in the agency. When you cannot speak to anyone outside the agency about your work, it becomes nearly impossible to confide in anyone close to you. Even if you have close work friends or family, you have to be careful what you say because not everyone is read into every program. Two people can sit next to each other in the same office, working on the same subject for months, and never talk about it with each other, even though they're close friends outside the agency. So people turn to the bottle. Her husband worked for a different government agency and also had a Top Secret-SCI clearance, but she couldn't talk about her work with him (nor could he with her, but his didn't involve the intelligence community)." —NetworkLlama 13."Want to work for them? Prepare to do a fair amount of paper work. The form will ask for each of your employer's contact information, contact information of friends, your history of addresses, etc. They will then send an agent to interview a number of these people. Next, you have to take a psychological exam and be interviewed by a psychologist. Finally, you'll have one last interview with a polygraph and a professional lie detector." —Sw0rDz 14."The agency employs psychiatrists who are cleared to be read into almost any program. Going to them, though, is often seen as a mark of shame among other agency employees, so they are not used nearly as often as they should be." —NetworkLlama Related: 15."Properly secret programs and operations are never named in any way that indicates what they are actually about. They're generally just two words chosen at random and that would rarely come up in normal conversation, stuff like 'Cracked Gorilla' (which I just made up off the top of my head)." —xxkoloblicinxx 16."I applied to be an accountant at the FBI out of college. On the first or second page of the application, it asks if you have ever done any illegal drug. Not wanting to lie, I said yes, and it immediately ended the application process. It's shocking to me that there are so many FBI agents, and absolutely none of them have ever smoked weed." —scotchglass22 finally, "Anyone who is a US citizen can apply to join the CIA. It isn't that hard. If you have any kind of degree in computer science, statistics, engineering, or accounting, and don't have anything that would mess up your getting a clearance, getting a job would be relatively easy there. Working at the CIA is far more boring than you would think." —Intrepid-Client9449 Responses have been edited for length/clarity. So, to all the former FBI and CIA workers out there.

Shock at What Passenger Is Seen Doing on Flight Sparks Fury: 'Gone Too Far'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A plane passenger has ignited backlash on Reddit after being photographed barefoot, with his legs spread out—prompting one viewer to label it a "crime against humanity." The image, posted on August 13 by Reddit user u/rileylbmc to the r/delta subreddit, shows the man's bare feet pressed against the wall in front of him, his legs extended in a wide "man spread" posture, and a pair of crumpled socks on the floor nearby. The post has since gone viral, earning more than 9,000 upvotes and over 1,200 comments. The title reads simply: "Crimes against humanity." The caption adds: "Please note the crumpled sweaty socks." The poster—who did not share their name, age or location—told Newsweek that the incident occurred on a Delta Air Lines flight from Nice in France to Atlanta in Georgia on August 13. The man was seated in the Delta Comfort Plus cabin at a bulkhead seat. "The sockless man was traveling alone," the poster said. "No flight attendant ever spoke to him about it that I'm aware of, other than to make him move his feet out of the aisle at one point because he'd manspread right out of his seat area." An image of a man on a Delta Air Lines flight sitting with his feet exposed in a "man spread" position. An image of a man on a Delta Air Lines flight sitting with his feet exposed in a "man spread" position. U/rileylbmc on Reddit The poster added that the man was not without pants, despite appearances in the image. "He was wearing short Lululemon [the clothing brand] bike shorts. He was not pants less," they said. "He eventually put his socks back on halfway." When contacted about the airline's dress code policy on flights, a spokesperson for Delta told Newsweek that the company's "Contract of Carriage," outlined at the airline's website, says that "Delta may refuse to transport or may remove passengers from its aircraft" when "the passenger's conduct, attire, hygiene or odor creates an unreasonable risk of offense or annoyance to other passengers." The behavior captured in the viral photo runs counter to what most travelers consider acceptable on a plane. This is according to a June 2023 survey conducted by Kayak, a travel booking site, which polled 1,000 airline passengers in the United States and Canada. The survey found that 68 percent of passengers believe "feet belong on the ground" and do not approve of putting feet up against the seat in front. Additionally, 76 percent of respondents said they "prefer their vision free of toes," adding that passengers are "not allowed" to remove their socks or shoes. Fifty-six percent agreed that "there's a difference between a plane and a beach." 'Gone Too Far' Reddit users responding to the post were quick to express their revulsion at the man's apparent comfort level. "I would have screamed," wrote u/SamSchuster. "When the pants come off it has gone too far," posted u/jefedezorros, with u/heybdiddy responding: "It's already gone too far." U/chicken-n-waffles420 added: "it's the casually discarded socks for me. this is not your bedroom my guy." "This is not your mom's basement, sir," commented u/AllTheNopeYouNeed. "This strikes me as the same type of person who would clip their nails in public," wrote u/One-Investigator-545. Newsweek has contacted the original poster for comment via the Reddit messaging system. Do you have a travel-related video or story to share?
