Conor McGregor begins civil trial over sexual assault allegations in Dublin
Conor McGregor appeared in Dublin's high court for a civil trial over allegations of sexual assault made by Nikita Ni Laimhin. She claims McGregor assaulted her in 2018 after picking her up following a night out. Ni Laimhin's lawyer presented evidence, including images of bruising, and described her as "terrified" during the incident. McGregor's team denies the allegations, arguing the encounter was consensual and claiming Ni Laimhin is attempting to extort him. The trial is expected to last two weeks, with the jury's interpretation of the evidence and testimonies being crucial to the outcome. The case has attracted significant public attention due to McGregor's fame.
