Officer was ‘determined to pursue’ prosecution of Kerr, court hears

A METROPOLITAN Police officer has said he was “determined to pursue” the prosecution of Chelsea footballer Sam Kerr after she called him “stupid and white,” a court heard today.
The Australia international is on trial charged with causing racially aggravated harassment to Pc Stephen Lovell during an incident in south-west London in the early hours of January 30, 2023.
It is alleged that Kerr, 31, and her partner, West Ham midfielder Kristie Mewis, had been out drinking when they were driven to Twickenham Police Station by a taxi driver who complained that they had refused to pay clean-up costs after one of them was sick, and that one of them smashed the vehicle’s rear window.
