sport news Sam Kerr is seen for the first time since her racial harassment charge as she ... trends now
EXCLUSIVE
Sam Kerr has broken cover for the first time since her bombshell racial harassment charge became public, stepping out in central London on Thursday and later re-emerging for a dinner outing with fiancee Kristie Mewis.
The Matildas and Chelsea striker's legal drama - as exclusively revealed by the Mail - means she is set to face a criminal trial before a jury in February next year.
Kerr has not been sighted since the story broke on March 5, and has made no public comment on her shocking start to the year, which has also seen her dream of representing Australia at the Paris Olympics all but ruined by a serious knee injury she suffered in January.

Prior to the Mail capturing these exclusive photos, Kerr hadn't been sighted since news of her bombshell charge broke on March 5, just after she pleaded not guilty in court
But despite her woes, the 30-year-old looked relaxed as she stepped out with Mewis on Thursday evening after being spotted earlier in the day dressed casually after attending Chelsea's training centre in Cobham, south-west London.
She'd changed out of her tracksuit top and shorts by the time she joined her American football star partner, who wore a striking all-black outfit that combined a sheer top with a jacket, miniskirt and boots.
It's the second time Mewis has been seen in public since news of Kerr's charge broke, with the Mail capturing exclusive photos of her in central London on Tuesday afternoon.
The Mail exclusively revealed that the 30-year-old was charged with racially aggravated harassment of a police officer and entered a not guilty plea on March 4, and will now face a four-day criminal trial before a jury.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson confirmed that the incident, which took place on January 30, 2023, was sparked by a dispute over a taxi fare before Kerr allegedly used insulting, threatening or abusive words that caused alarm or distress to the officer.
