Conor McGregor faces civil claim as accuser details alleged assault and threats

Conor McGregor is facing a civil damages claim from Nikita Hand, who alleges he raped her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018. During court proceedings, she described feeling threatened, stating, "he told me he’d kill me," when asked about the incident. Hand testified that she was assaulted and choked, and she became emotional while listening to a recorded conversation with her former partner. She denied claims of consensual sex and rejected suggestions that CCTV footage contradicted her account of the events. The court also heard that Hand deleted messages after the alleged assault due to fear for her safety. She expressed distress while viewing CCTV footage from the night, stating it was hard to watch and did not reflect her character. The case is ongoing.
