Ex-Police Officer Faces Felony Charges for Allegedly Filming Explicit Content While in Uniform
Former Nashville police officer Sean Herman is facing criminal charges following his arrest on Thursday. Herman, 33, was indicted on two counts of felony official misconduct stemming from his alleged participation in an adult video while on duty.
Investigation Leads to Termination and Arrest
The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) reports that detectives with the Specialized Investigations Division discovered the video and identified Herman in uniform. Following this discovery, Herman was fired from the force in May 2024. Authorities subsequently arrested him at his residence in Sumner County.
Explicit Content and Abuse of Power Alleged
The video in question, allegedly posted on the subscription platform OnlyFans, depicts Herman participating in a simulated traffic stop. According to MNPD officials, the skit involves Herman inappropriately groping a female driver.
MNPD Condemns Actions and Continues Investigation
A press release issued by the MNPD confirms that the video was filmed in a warehouse parking lot on April 26th, 2024, while Herman was on patrol duty. The release further states that Chief Drake ordered a continuation of the investigation after Herman’s termination. This resulted in his indictment and arrest.
Court Hearing and Potential Consequences
A Criminal Court judge set Herman’s bond at $3,000. This case highlights the serious consequences officers can face for misconduct and abuse of power. As the legal proceedings unfold, further details surrounding the incident are likely to be revealed.
