A Nashville police officer has been fired for appearing in a sexual OnlyFans video featuring a fake traffic stop.
Officer Sean Herman – a 3-year veteran of the Metro Nashville Police Department – was fired on Thursday.
"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," said Don Aaron – spokesperson for the Metro Nashville Police Department.
The Metro Nashville Police Department was notified on Wednesday that Officer Herman allegedly appeared in an OnlyFans video titled: "Can't believe he didn't arrest me."
The video – hosted on the adult-oriented subscription online platform – shows a woman being pulled over by the officer. The cop's police cruiser is seen in the sexual video.
The woman is in the driver's seat with a man in the passenger seat. The man in the passenger seat tells the woman that she deserved to get pulled over because she was driving too fast.
A police officer then approaches the woman's car window and tells her that she was speeding. During the fake traffic stop, he identifies himself as "Officer Johnson of PD."
When the cop asks the woman for her license and registration, she says that she doesn't have the correct documents. She tells the cop, "I'm not going to get a ticket…I’m going to show him my t**s." She then pulls down her top to expose her breasts.
"Ma’am, it’s 2024. I can see t***s on the internet any time,” the officer replies in the video.
The woman responds, "Well, what if you touched them?"
WTVF reported that the woman invited the "officer to grope her breasts, which he does while she is seen grabbing his crotch."
The video does not show the police officer's face. However, when the officer reaches into the car to grope the woman, there's a short glimpse of what appears to be a Metro Nashville Police Department patch on the shoulder of his uniform.
"Had we not seen that patch, I don’t know if we’d be having this conversation right now," WTVF investigative reporter Levi Ismail said in an Instagram video.

Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell (D) vowed on Monday to investigate the purported leak of portions of the Covenant School killer's manifesto.
Conservative commentator Steven Crowder released three pages of the purported manifesto, which the transgender perpetrator left behind after killing three students and three staff members at the Christian private school.
Crowder told WKRN-TV that a detective at the scene of the school snapped images of the manifesto, and a source within the Metro Nashville Police Department sent them to him.
One of the handwritten pages is dated the same day as the murders; it is titled "death day," showing the killer's excitement for the attack. Another page showed the killer's schedule for "death day," while a third page revealed the killer's hate-fueled ramblings against the Christian students, whom the killer called "little crackers" and a "bunch of little faggots," among other vile descriptions.
"Kill those kids!!!" the killer wrote. "Those crackers going to private fancy schools with those fancy kwakis [sic] + sports backpacks. W/ thier daddies [sic] mustangs + convertables [sic]."
The Metro Nashville Police Department refused to verify whether the pages are authentic.
"I have no idea what that is, and at this point in time I don't think we know what that's about," a police spokesperson told the Tennessee Star.
When asked for a clarification, that spokesperson told the newspaper that MNPD has "no idea who [Crowder] is, what he’s got, what he's talking about."
It's not clear how or why the police cannot verify the authenticity of the pages because law enforcement took possession of the manifesto in the initial stages of the investigation, and it remains in their evidence collection.
Mayor O'Connell, meanwhile, appeared to confirm the images are from the purported manifesto, promising an investigation into how they were leaked.
"I have directed Wally Dietz, Metro's Law Director, to initiate an investigation into how these images could have been released," O'Connell said. "That investigation may involve local, state, and federal authorities. I am deeply concerned with the safety, security, and well-being of the Covenant families and all Nashvillians who are grieving."
There is an ongoing legal battle over the manifesto.
Five parties — the Tennessee Firearms Association, the National Police Association, the Tennessee Star, The Tennessean, and state Sen. Todd Gardenhire (R) — have sued for the manifesto's release. But the parents of Covenant School students argue the manifesto should not be released.
The matter remains unsettled, but a judge ruled earlier this year that the parents can have a say in the legal battle.

A suspect reportedly ambushed a Tennessee police officer who responded to a fake call, according to a Newsweek report Wednesday.
The suspect — identified as 22-year-old Salman Mohamed — reportedly shot Officer Brian Sherman late Tuesday night before turning the gun on himself.
According to reports, Sherman arrived at the scene after the suspect called authorities and told them that his brother shot their mother and that the situation was escalating within the home.
When Sherman and two other officers arrived at the home, Sherman was immediately met with gunfire. Mohamed, who was armed with a rifle, then allegedly shot himself in the head.
No shots were fired by police, according to reports.
Department spokesperson Don Aaron said that Sherman, who was struck by a bullet in the upper left arm, was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he was treated for his injuries and released later that night.
"It's clear that the phone call to the communications center about an active shooter — that his mother had been shot — was a ruse, a setup to get police to the scene," Aaron said during a press conference on the shooting. "No one else in the home was injured."
He added, "We have to talk to family members to determine what has occurred here. We don't see any arrest history for Mohamed here in Nashville."

Aaron also said that the danger for officers appears to have escalated over the last several weeks.
"Certainly, these calls are sitting with our officers," the spokesman said. "You can't ignore them. It's very concerning what our officers are being confronted with over the past few weeks. It's very concerning."
The department tweeted a photo of Sherman and captioned it, "BREAKING: Officer Brian Sherman is bring treated at Vanderbilt for gunshot wounds to his left arm. Sherman was hit while answering a call of a woman shot at 7220 Sugarloaf Dr. That call was a setup to get police to respond[.]"
The 2023 Nashville school shooter responsible for the deaths of half a dozen Christians expressed disdain for Christianity and her parents’ biblical beliefs, according to a copy of her long-hidden manifesto released on Tuesday. Obtained and published by The Tennessee Star, the 90-page journal documents the mental breakdown of Audrey Hale leading up to her […]
Editor Michael Patrick Leahy says he will go to jail before revealing the source of the documents, and the judge just might oblige.
