Sam Kerr has been released from racially aggravated intimidation against PC Stephen Lovell at the police station of Twickenham.
The 31-year-old Australian football player was drunk drunk with PC Lovell 'F ***** stupid and white' in the early hours of January 30, 2023.
The court heard how Kerr and her now fiancé, Kristie Mewis, who is also a football player for West Ham and the US, believed that after a night out they had been kidnapped by a taxi driver, culminating in a bid in a bid to to escape the vehicle.
Allegedly, the driver said the police that the two football players had refused to cover the costs of cleaning up and the compensation.
At the police station, Kerr is said to have become 'offensive and offensive' towards PC Lovell.
A jury of Kingston Crown Court lasted a little more than four hours to return a unanimously not guilty verdict.
Kerr, who wore a white zipper and black pants, emerged from the dock with a smile on her face, while Mewis broke out in tears.
In a farewell declaration, Judge Peter Lodder said: 'View the position that her own behavior has contributed considerably to bringing this statement and has a significant influence on the issue of the costs.
“She has to accept herself based on video recording.”
Kerr, who has not played her ACL in January last year in January, a court told last week that she called a policeman 'Dom and White' because he did not understand his privilege and treated her differently because of the color of her skin.
Kerr said that PC Lovell did not listen to her and fiancé Kristie Mewis when they told him that they believed that a taxi driver had tried to kidnap them.
The Australian captain made the comments when the taxi driver brought them to a police station after she overrun after an evening out of his window.
Kerr said that the driver started 'dangerous driving' after she was sick, so that the couple was sad – and in March 2021 reminded her of the kidnapping and murder of Sarah Everard. They kicked the rear window in an attempt to escape.
The Cabbie called the police and drove to the police station of Twickenham, where he was cheerful by PC Lovell and a colleague, who at the same time arrived in a marked car at the station.
Kerr told the jury Sarah Everard – the young woman who was abducted, murdered and killed in Clapham in March 2021 – had been 'prominent' in her mind, so that she was afraid of being 'in the control of a stranger'.
The court heard that they had been eating out in Amazonico in Mayfair and at a party in Bagatelle. Kerr had not been able to call up an Uber, her favorite way to get a taxi, which started a black taxi in Oxford Street.
But after she had stopped her head out of the window when she felt sick, she said that the driver 'it rolled' and started 'dangerously'.
She also revealed in court that she and fiancée Kristie Mewis were expecting a boy who had announced their pregnancy in November and planned to get married at the end of the year.
The process heard evidence from PC Lovell, who said he had not been aware of who Kerr was when he was called to the police station of Twickenham.
He told the process that he felt 'small and upset' when he was subjected to the alleged anger.
The court heard that the case had been referred to the Crown Prosecution Service after PC Lovell had provided a statement. But it initially concluded that there was insufficient evidence to formally charging the star.
Kerr would then play for Australia in the World Cup World Cup in the summer of 2023. The country also organized the tournament.
Scotland Yard asked the CPS to reopen the case in October. Public Prosecutors took further statements from the agent and authorized police to accuse the star in December 2023.
