Conor McGregor sexually assaulted woman in 2018, civil court jury in Ireland finds
A civil jury in Ireland on Friday found that mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor sexually assaulted a woman in a hotel penthouse after a night of heavy partying.
LONDON — A woman who claimed mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor “brutally raped and battered” her in a Dublin hotel penthouse was awarded nearly 250,000 Euros ($257,000) on Friday by a civil court jury in Ireland.
The woman said the Dec. 9, 2018 assault after a night of partying had left her heavily bruised and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
McGregor shook his head as the jury of eight women and four men returned the verdict after deliberating about six hours in the High Court in Dublin. He was mobbed by cameras as he left court but did not comment.
McGregor testified that he never forced the woman to do anything against her will and said she fabricated the allegations after the two had consensual sex.
The woman’s lawyer said she never pretended to be a saint and had gone out looking for a good time that ended up turning into a nightmare.
