NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Nashville police arrested Sean Herman this morning on two counts of felony official misconduct for taking part in the OnlyFans skit last month.
Herman was on duty on April 26, when he was seen groping the woman in the video. At first, It wasn’t clear if he was on duty or not, but Herman was seen wearing his full uniform and had his squad car with him.
Watch above what we know about this case.
Police said Chief John Drake directed that the investigation continue after Herman was fired, resulting in his indictment.
NewsChannel 5 Investigates first broke the story after getting tips sent to us about a possible MNPD officer in an OnlyFans video. Apparently, MNPD already caught wind of the video the day before and immediately began investigating.
They say Herman was in the Madison area to film this video, which was the same precinct he covered as a patrol officer.
We know the couple in the video organized this stunt with Herman, but in the weeks since, NewsChannel 5 Investigates discovered that Herman was the one who asked to do this stunt.
In the video, Herman identifies himself as "Officer Johnson" before being invited to reach for the woman's breasts.
We see Herman's shoulder for a brief moment, which had what appears to be the Metro Nashville logo.
Herman was fired shortly after since he was already on a “Last Chance” agreement for prior infractions with fellow officers.
Police say they found out about the video, the day before we called, after several tips were sent to NewsChannel 5 Investigates.
They said Herman was already on a "Last Chance" agreement for misconduct with other officers, which is why he was fired the very next day.
Herman’s bond was set at $3,000.
He was with the department for three years before his firing.
How this story came to be
The video — titled "Can't believe he didn't arrest me" — was originally posted by a woman named Jordin who was sitting in the driver’s seat. A man in the passenger seat is heard telling Jordin that he knew she would be pulled over for how fast she was driving.
The man pans the camera from the back windshield where a white squad car is seen. Jordin is then heard saying, “I’m not going to get a ticket…I’m going to show him my t**s.”
Moments later, an officer approaches the driver’s side door and identifies himself as “Officer Johnson of PD.”
He is then seen reaching into the car and groping Jordin’s breast before grabbing his genitals through his pants.
