Nashville School Resource Officer Filmed Sex in Middle School, OPA Report Shows

A 30-day suspension, later resignation, plus an injured-on-duty pension that blocked questioning of the other officer signal limits in the internal investigation.

Overview

  • The Office of Professional Accountability report obtained by local media on July 16–17, 2026 shows Lisa Vidrios recorded multiple sexual encounters with a fellow officer inside Madison Middle School while students and staff were nearby.
  • Vidrios told investigators the encounters began in May 2025 and took place at least four times inside the school as well as in a police car and other locations.
  • When the department learned of the allegations on May 26, 2025 the two officers were decommissioned and removed from access, and Vidrios later accepted a pre-investigative settlement for conduct unbecoming with a 30-day suspension before resigning.
  • Investigators say they could not interview the unnamed 18-year MNPD officer because he was granted an injured-on-duty pension in February 2026, a procedural detail the report identifies as limiting the probe.
  • City and school officials have issued brief statements stressing standards for first responders while the OPA report and recovered videos renew public questions about oversight of school resource officers and transparency in internal discipline.
