Conor McGregor says fear led him to remain silent during police interview in rape case
Conor McGregor, the Irish MMA fighter, is being cross-examined in a civil case where he is accused of raping Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel in 2018. He stated he answered "no comment" to over 100 police questions due to fear. McGregor claims he had consensual sex with Hand and described his police interviews as nerve-wracking and unfamiliar. He expressed a desire to share his side of the story, asserting that the allegations are false. During the court proceedings, McGregor admitted to using cocaine while in a car with Hand and another man, James Lawrence. He also acknowledged paying for Lawrence's legal fees, although he initially hesitated to confirm this.
