Conor McGregor faces sexual assault allegations in Dublin hotel as civil case opens

A woman has accused Conor McGregor of sexual assault in a Dublin hotel in 2018. The civil case began on Tuesday at the High Court, where she seeks financial damages. McGregor and another man are named as defendants. In her testimony, the woman described feeling uncomfortable and stated that McGregor did not respect her refusal to engage in sexual activity. She claimed they had mutual acquaintances and had communicated before the incident. A doctor testified that the woman showed signs of distress and had unusual bruising when she was admitted to the hospital the day after the alleged assault. McGregor's lawyers plan to argue that the encounter was consensual.
