Female officer fired for having s3x with multiple colleagues to receive $500k after suing Tennessee city

An American cop, Maegan Hall, who trended after she was sacked for having s3x with multiple male colleagues is to be paid half a million dollars by the city of La Vergne

She sued the City after she was fired for having sex with multiple male cops that involved games of ‘strip-Uno’ and foot fetish photos.

The 28-year-old was fired in January 2023 after it was first discovered that she had sexual relationships with several cops in the suburban Nashville department – some of whom have been terminated, others suspended.

The disgraced cop hit back in a federal lawsuit, claiming she was groomed and abused by lecherous superiors, including Police Chief Burrel ‘Chip’ Davis and Sgt. Lewis Powell, a 15-year law enforcement veteran.

The half-million settlement includes court costs, attorneys fees and expenses paid out by the city’s insurance.

The La Vergne board voted 3-1 at a special meeting in favour of settling the lawsuit.

‘The agreement was negotiated between the attorneys representing the city and Hall,’ a statement from the board said.

‘The City denies any admission of liability and no taxpayer funds will be spent to settle this lawsuit.’

La Vergne launched an internal inquiry late last year after a whistleblower came forward to report that a female cop, Maegan Hall, was having ‘intimate relationships’ with multiple male colleagues and even on police property.

In the course of the investigation, it emerged that Hall was having sex with multiple fellow officers – including officer Lewis Powell – and they had carried out sex acts while on duty.

When interviewed in the investigation, Hall said she had played games of ‘strip Uno’ exchanged foot fetish photos and played out wife-swapping sessions with fellow officers.

During one interview about the affairs, Hall said: ‘I got stupid, I got desperate, I guess, and guys are guys and they’ll stick their d**k in anything.’

While discussing her affair with Powell, she said at one point they had carried out sex acts on police property, she said: ‘I just gave him a blowjob in the substation.

‘Me and my husband were kind of on the verge of a divorce and I just cracked and then it just kind of got out of hand.’

Powell initially denied the relationship but later admitted to it – claiming in the latest lawsuit that then-police chief Davis had told him to lie at first.

The probe led to both Hall and Powell losing their jobs. Also affected were Patrol Officer Juan Lugo, Detective Seneca Shields, Sgt. Ty McGowan and, eventually even the police chief Davis, who initially led the inquiry.

McGowan was the source of the original whistleblower tip received by La Vergne Mayor Jason Cole’s office.

Patrol Officer Patrick Magliocco, K-9 officer Larry Holladay and Patrol Officer Gavin Schoeberl, who traded naked pictures with Hall, were also suspended.

In the aftermath, Hall claimed that she had been ‘sexually groomed’ by her ‘predator’ superiors and had tried to ‘kill herself.’

She filed her own lawsuit earlier this year, claiming that: ‘Sgt. Powell positioned himself as a reliable source of companionship and advice regarding Ms. Hall’s career and her marriage.

The lawsuit said: ‘Sgt. Powell persisted in requests for sex despite Ms. Hall’s resistance. Eventually, Ms. Hall gave in to Sgt. Powell’s requests for sexual favours.’

But she said when she tried to stop that Powell threatened to kill himself. The lawsuit reads: ‘Sgt. Powell was crying and told Ms Hall he drank an entire bottle of Jack Daniel’s whiskey.

‘He threatened to kill himself, told Ms Hall ‘you did this to me,’ and asserted that Ms Hall was responsible for his imminent suicide.’

Hall said the ‘exploitative sexual relationship’ with Powell is what led to other sexual encounters involving other officers.

She also claimed in the suit that Police Chief Chip Davis was ‘no better than his subordinates, inviting Hall on lunch dates, asking her to come into his office to dance for him and questioning whether she preferred ‘dark, white or milk chocolate.”

It later emerged that Davis had shared explicit videos of Hall and made sexist comments on a secret burner phone he nicknamed ‘Ole Boy.’

Davis feigned surprise as he oversaw the internal inquiry into the scandal. But then court filings obtained by DailyMail revealed that Davis knew all about the events before the inquiry and had even pestered one of his sergeants to send him a video of Hall masturbating.

In the latest lawsuit, Powell accuses Davis of instructing him to lie about his relationship with Hall during the investigation and ‘deny that anything had even occurred at all’.

‘Throughout the year 2022, Officer Hall slept around with a number of other police officers,’ the lawsuit reads.

The suit also claims that Hall then had a mental breakdown and La Vergne Mayor, Jason Cole, found out she had been sleeping with multiple officers and decided to ‘get to the bottom of the situation and uncover every juicy detail.’

Powell is suing the city after claiming he was fired – while his white colleagues were allowed to stay on the force because of his race.

He is suing the city, the Mayor, Jason Cole, La Vergne HR Director Andrew Patton and former Police Chief Chip Davis for racial discrimination, claiming $3 million in damages as well as front and back pay.

The complaint alleges that the city ‘terminated and defamed all the officers involved except for those who were white and male — based at least partly on racial prejudice.’
