The officer who was linked to the La Vergne Police Department sex scandal has finally settled the lawsuit with the department. Maegan Hall, the only female officer fired in connection with the case, has reached a $500,000 settlement with the city. The case dates back to 2023 when the 24-year-old and four other officers were fired after an investigation revealed an alleged sexual relationship.
According to the lawsuit, Hall was allegedly the target of sexual harassment for what was described as ‘grooming’ for’sexualexploitation’. According to investigation reports, Hall and other department officers had sex while on the job.
“Maegan Hall was a vulnerable and optimistic 24-year-old woman who had applied to be a police officer in the City of La Vergne. Where Ms. Hall sought role models at her new job, she instead found predators,” the lawsuit said.
Hall was the target of public mockery and negative publicity, which hampered her efforts to keep her job. For this reason, her attorneys decided to take the case to court.
Who is Maegan Hall?
Meagan Hall, a 24-year-old former police officer, came to light after an investigation cast doubt on her alleged sexual relationship with other officers.
The female cop from Tennessee previously claimed that she was “sexually groomed” by a group of male colleagues on the force. The now-dismissed lawsuit named the city of La Vergne, and fired Police Chief Burrel “Chip” Davis, and Sergeants Lewis Powell and Henry “Ty” McGowan as defendants.
