One of the best female soccer players in the world, Sam Kerr, was found not guilty on Tuesday of harassing a police officer in a racially offensive manner. During a violent argument at a police station following a night out in London in January 2023, Kerr, a striker for both Australia and the English club Chelsea, acknowledged calling Police Constable Stephen Lovell “stupid and white,” but she denied that it amounted to the allegation.
The verdict was rendered on the seventh day of the trial at Kingston Crown Court in London, following over four hours of deliberations by a twelve-member jury. I can finally move on from this difficult time after today’s not-guilty verdict,” Kerr wrote in an Instagram message. “I have always maintained that I did not intend to insult or harm anyone, and I am thankful that the jury unanimously agreed, even though I apologise for expressing myself poorly on what was a traumatic evening.”
Kerr and her fiancé, Kristie Mewis, a U.S. football player who plays for the English team West Ham, are accused of being intoxicated when they were taken to the police station by a cab driver who claimed that one of them had broken the rear window of the car and that they had refused to pay for cleanup after one of them became ill.
