PC challenged the objectives at the center of Kerr Testing

A police officer denied that he claimed to experience harassment from Chelsea and Australia striker Samantha Kerr “purely to receive a criminal allegation on the line”.

The 31-year-old footballer denied PC Stephen Lavel to PC Stephen Lavel during an incident at the Twichem Police Station in Southwest London in the early hours of 30 January 2023.

The Crown Prosiction Service (CPS) authorized the Mate Police to charge Ms. Kerr after PC Lavel submitted a second witness statement, a jury in the Kingston Crown Court.

The CPS initially ruled that the evidence did not meet the threshold to charge Ms. Kerr, which was given to another after the officer’s first statement, 10 months before the second.

Footage from the officer’s body-von camera was played on Monday, in which Ms. Kerr uses an explain and tells the officer that she is “stupid and white”.

The court heard that PC Laval made a witness statement on 30 January 2023 and second on 5 December.

Grace Forbes, while defending, questioned PC Laval about his two statements.

He told the court: “There was no mention of stupid and white in your first statement.”

PC Laval confirmed that it was not.

Asked if he was “determined” to pursue Ms. Kerr through criminal courts, the officer replied: “Yes.”

“CPS identified that there was no evidence of harassment, alarm or crisis,” said Ms. Forbes.

“(I) I am going to suggest that you are claiming that this effect has been purely experienced to receive a criminal allegation on the line.”

PC Laval denied this.

The prosecution barrister Bill Emlin Jones Casey asked PC Laval whether he was worried about describing his feelings when he made his first statement.

On re -examining, PC Laval said that Ms. Kerr’s words made her feel “confident and upset”.

He said: “I did not make anything to get charge on the line.”

PC Laval told the court that in his second statement he said that the words of Ms. Kerr felt “shocking, upset and humiliated” and that his comment about the race was far away and I committed a lot of crime for him “.

The prosecution was asked whether the statement was correct, to which he responded to “yes”.

Ms. Kerr confirmed that she was drinking alcohol out one night with her fellow, fellow footballer Christie Mevis, when she was ill from a taxi window on the way to the house.

The pair was motivated to the Tismanham police station by the taxi driver, who complained that the passengers refused to pay the cost of cleaning and broke the back window of the vehicle, alleging that the vehicle broke.

The court played audio recording of a voluntary police interview given by Ms. Ker on 30 January 2023.

Ms. Kerr said that she felt “a lot of threat to my life” in a taxi, saying that the driver had closed the doors, and that she “did not feel heard or protected in the police station”.

Ms. Kerr initially said that she did not remember PC Stephen Lavel, saying “stupid and white”.

After playing footage wearing a police body, he was asked if he had felt upset, cautious or distressed by PC Laval.

He said: “No, not at all.”

Asked whether he knows that his words could be considered racist, he replied in the interview, “I know anything can be considered as racist”.

“I was clearly drunk and I should not have been in front,” he said.
