Kerr had been accused of intentionally causing “racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress” to PC Stephen Lovell during the incident.

Kerr, one of the highest-profile players in women’s soccer, was charged after a 2023 dispute with a London taxi driver turned into a heated exchange with police.

Sam Kerr’s fiancee said the Matildas’ star was “treated poorly” by police and she couldn’t imagine how she was feeling on the night of an argument with police officers after the couple were taken to a police station by a taxi driver over an issue with a fare.

Kerr, 31, who has captained the Matildas since 2019 but is currently out injured, was charged with causing racially aggravated harassment in January 2023 but was found not guilty this week following a trial.

A jury retired to consider its verdicts on Monday in the trial of Australia and Chelsea forward Sam Kerr, who denies a charge of causing racially aggravated harassment.

The worst week of Sam Kerr’s life is now over. But there are sure to be more ramifications to come. On Tuesday, a jury found the Chelsea and Australia striker not guilty of racially aggravated harassment after she called Police Constable Stephen Lovell “f------ stupid and white”.

Nearly two years after being involved “an incident involving a police officer who was responding to a complaint involving a taxi fare on 30 January 2023 in Twickenham”, Chelsea striker Sam Kerr has been cleared of all charges by a unanimous jury decision on Tuesday.
