Matildas captain and Chelsea striker Sam Kerr has been involved in a legal issue stemming from an incident 14 months ago where she allegedly racially abused a police officer in the UK. Kerr, who spent time in a police cell following the altercation, has been advised by a judge to plead guilty sooner rather than later if she intends to do so and has been given a warning by a court judge. In response to the charges, Kerr's legal team has requested that CCTV footage and interviews from the police station be preserved as they prepare her defense, with a young legal eagle set to defend her. An Australian MP has criticized the police officer involved, calling him a 'sook' for complaining about the incident. Meanwhile, Kerr has been seen in public for the first time since the charge, looking relaxed as she stepped out in London, as police reveal they are still searching for a key witness in the case.
