An Australian football player is walking away from jail time after being accused of racially harassing a Metropolitan police officer.  

Sam Kerr was found not guilty by a British jury over an incident two years ago where she called an officer stupid and white.  

UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Francesca Rudkin the charge could have lead to two years in prison. 

He says the 31-year-old has always claimed she was antagonised by officers when she was taken to the police station following a dispute with a taxi driver.  

The driver wanted clean up compensation from Kerr and her partner, for vomit and a broken window.
