The BBC reported on the 12th (Korea time) that the Kingston Crown Court in London acquitted Kerr. Kerr was charged in January 2023 with racist comments saying `You guys are horrible stupid white people' while mixing nutmeg letters with Stephen Lovell, the police officer who responded to him at the time after boarding a taxi with his partner. Kerr admitted to the remarks at trial, but insisted they were unintentional, and the jury accepted them. The BBC reported that `12 jurors decided to admit Kerr's claim after more than four hours of deliberation.' However, Judge Peter Lauder pointed out the mistake, saying that `Ker's actions have had a significant impact on what is happening.'
Kerr has scored 199 career goals in the English Women's Super League (WSL), the U.S. Women's Soccer League (NWSL), and the Australian W League. He had a multicultural background born to a British father and an Indian mother and has been considered a representative LGBTQ player when he came out as a lesbian. Since 2019, he has been captain of the Australian national team. However, his image has been greatly tarnished by his racist remarks.
Kerr said in a statement after the ruling that `Now I can get past this difficult time and move forward.' `I apologize for the impulsive bad expression of my feelings. But I didn't mean to insult or harm anyone. I am grateful that the jury unanimously acknowledged my opinion." The Australian Football Association also said in a statement that it expects Kerr to return to the stadium and contribute to his team and the national team" he expressed his welcome.
