Deputy resigns as probe exposes her online fetish account — sold videos and photos in uniform
A Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy has stepped down after an internal investigation revealed she was running a sexually explicit online account featuring foot fetish content, sometimes while wearing her official uniform.
Deputy Brandi Tenlen, a 21-year veteran stationed at the Palm Beach County courthouse, reportedly earned $6,000 over 16 months through her side activity on FeetFinder.com. According to WPBF, she posted sexually explicit videos of herself performing acts in exchange for payment.
Some of Tenlen’s content allegedly included her wearing a “PBSO Class B” uniform. In one video, titled “Smelly Boot Removal,” she reportedly invited viewers to guess her profession while removing her boots and socks and displaying her handcuffs. The post, which carried tags such as “boots, cop, uniform,” was publicly searchable before subscription.
The sheriff’s office learned about Tenlen’s account after another deputy tipped them off in July 2025, stating that she had been creating content similar to OnlyFans for foot fetish subscribers. The tip included claims that Tenlen had been paid to meet a man at an Orlando hotel for sexual acts, according to internal documents.
The male participant, who appeared in multiple videos, admitted traveling to Florida to record content with Tenlen and her now-deleted account, “Girlwithdragonfoottattoo,” though he said he was not paid directly. Investigators noted that Tenlen openly discussed her account with coworkers and showed photos of her feet, which featured a black tribal-style dragon tattoo, making identification easier.
Some videos depicted her face and tattoos, clearly linking the content to her. Another video shown to a third deputy reportedly showed Tenlen in a karate uniform striking a man in his genitals repeatedly. Investigators also claimed she had called in sick after being denied vacation, using the time to meet a subscriber from Canada to record additional content. Timestamps confirmed some material was created while she was on duty.
The sheriff’s office told WPBF that Tenlen’s actions were found to be “clear violations of our agency policies and procedures.” Besides generating income and meeting subscribers, she also failed to get written permission for off-duty employment, according to officials.
In a sworn statement, Tenlen admitted creating the content, receiving payment, and not seeking supervisor approval. She also confirmed deleting the account after the investigation began.
Internal affairs concluded that Tenlen violated multiple policies, including conduct unbecoming, misuse of sick leave, unauthorized off-duty work, and inappropriate social media activity, CBS12 reported.
