Kerr has been charged with "using insulting, threatening or abusive statements that caused alarm or distress" to a police officer in an incident in Twickenham, London back in January. The Chelsea star appeared in court on Monday and entered a not-guilty plea to the charge, as reported by <a href="https://twitter.com/m0lly_writes/status/1764721086778810401?s=46&amp;t=6ZhhKIOdMr4Ronsf-714AA" target="_blank">Molly Hudson</a> of The Times.

WHAT HAPPENED?

During the entering of the plea, Judge Judith Elaine Coello, the presiding judge said, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13155699/sam-kerr-not-guilty-aggravated-harassment-police-officer-trial.html" target="_blank">via The Daily Mail</a>: "I understand that the defence is that she didn't intend to cause alarm, harassment or distress to the officer, [her behaviour] did not amount to it and it was not racially aggravated."

WHAT THE JUDGE SAID

The case will now go to trial and is scheduled for February 2025. Kerr will be required to attend in person, with the trial expected to last four days. It has also been reported that there will be two police officers present who will give evidence against Kerr.
