Police who had sex with seven colleagues say they were victims of sexual harassment

Maegan Hallthe American police officer who was fired for his numerous sexual relationships with officers, stated that she “predatory” superiors “sexually cured her” and attempted “suicide”.

Hall, 26, who has blamed her failed marriage for her sordid affairs, said in a 51-page federal lawsuit filed Monday that she felt “trapped” and “exploited” at the La Vergne Police Department.

The 26-year-old was fired in January after it was discovered she had had sexual relations with several police officers in the department, some of whom were fired and others suspended.

In an interview during an internal investigation, Hall saidHe admitted to engaging in sexual acts with officers on duty at police stations and having a threesome with a police officer and his wife.

The suit states, “Where Ms. Hall looked for role models in her new job, she found predators.” Instead of offering you professional development, her supervisors and the police chief groomed her for sexual exploitation.

They colluded to use their authority to systematically disarm her resistance and trap her in humiliating and abusive sexual relationships, while also sharing advice on the best ways to manipulate and exploit her,” the lawsuit filed by the former agent states.

The federal civil rights case referred to Hall’s history of mental illness and said she felt “trapped”. “Maegan Hall felt trapped in her assigned role at the City of La Vergne Police Department, and in an attempt to escape, she nearly committed suicide,” she said.

The lawsuit said Hall was 24 when she first applied for a job at the police department in 2020 and says she first became sexually involved with Sergeant Lewis Powell early last year.

“Sergeant Powell learned that Ms. Hall was going through the process of buying a home with her husband and that this process was extremely taxing on their relationship,” the lawsuit said. Sergeant Powell has established himself as a reliable source of companionship and advice in relation to Mrs Hall’s career and marriage.”

Sergeant Powell persisted in his requests for sex despite Ms. Hall’s resistance,” the lawsuit states. Ultimately, Ms. Hall agreed to Sergeant Powell’s requests for sexual favors.”

He said when he tried to stop him, Powell threatened to kill himself. Sergeant Powell called you drunk.

She also claimed to have had sexual relationships with Larry Holladay, Patrick Magliocco, Ty McGowan, Juan Lugo-Perez, Gavin Schoeberl and Detective Seneca Shields. Powell, Lugo-Perez, McGowan and Shields were also fired over the incidents. The others, on the other hand, kept their jobs, but were suspended.

Earlier this month, La Vergne Police Chief Burrel ‘Chip’ Davis was also fired. Hall says Burrel “encouraged this behavior and shared Ms. Hall’s pornography and mutually violent sexual fantasy with her trusted supervisor, Ty McGowan.”
