In a shocking case that has drawn nationwide attention, former Metro Nashville Police Department officer Sean Herman has pleaded no contest to felony official misconduct after appearing in an explicit OnlyFans video. The incident, which occurred while he was on duty in April 2024, has led to a one-year supervised probation sentence for Herman, along with the suspension of his Peace Officer Standards and Training certification.
The Viral Video That Sparked Outrage
The controversy emerged after an OnlyFans video titled “Can’t believe he didn’t arrest me” was uploaded by creator Jordin. The footage, filmed in a Madison-area warehouse parking lot, showed Herman participating in a mock traffic stop while in uniform. The staged scenario featured Jordin exposing her breasts to avoid a ticket, prompting Herman to inappropriately grope her breasts and grab his own genitals. Although his face was not visible, investigators identified him through a police department patch on his uniform.
Jordin later explained that the video was intended as a humorous social media promotion, playing on the fantasy of “flashing” to get out of a ticket. Despite initially only planning to release it as a promotional clip, the video gained viral attention and was viewed over two million times on Twitter, where it was retweeted approximately 5,500 times. This exposure brought it to the attention of local law enforcement.
Consequences Inside and Outside the Force
Herman was fired from the Metro Nashville Police Department in May 2024, just weeks after the video surfaced. Metro Police Chief John Drake continued the investigation despite Herman’s dismissal, which eventually led to his indictment and a $3,000 bond. Officials condemned Herman’s actions, calling them “outrageous and disrespectful” to the police department and its staff.
As part of his plea, Herman avoided jail time but will serve probation and is no longer certified to serve as an officer. Jordin, the OnlyFans creator, defended her decision to collaborate with Herman, calling him “respectful, polite, and not the type to fit the negative profile some are assuming.” She also revealed her intent to sell the video on her platform, with proceeds aimed at financially supporting Herman, who reportedly received a month’s salary from her after his termination.
A Scandal With Ripple Effects
Jordin disclosed in an interview that she noticed an increase in subscribers after the scandal broke, with fans eager to access the controversial clip. However, she expressed regret over the unintended consequences, explaining that she removed the video from public platforms once it started gaining serious media attention. Despite her efforts, local reporters had already flagged the content to Metro Nashville Police.
Looking forward, it remains unclear what Herman’s next move will be, though Jordin suggested he might find success in the adult content industry. “He has the looks and demeanor to thrive if that’s the path he chooses,” she remarked.
This high-profile incident has reignited discussions around professionalism, accountability, and the boundaries between public and private personas, especially in the era of social media. It serves as a cautionary tale for others in similar positions of authority.
