Conor McGregor is facing a civil lawsuit from Nikita Hand, who accuses him of raping her in a Dublin hotel nearly six years ago. McGregor claims their encounter was consensual and denies the allegations. During court proceedings, McGregor described feeling "beyond petrified" when questioned by police in January 2019. He explained his decision to remain silent during the questioning was based on legal advice due to the seriousness of the situation. The case has revealed DNA matching McGregor's was found on Hand, while his co-defendant, James Lawrence, also claims their encounter was consensual. Hand is seeking damages for distress and loss of earnings related to the alleged incident.
